EDITORS COMMENTS
India - Darjeeling: A Tibetan Monk (Lama) Begging, Carrying a Tambourine and Small Horn Pipe (circa 1907) This evocative photograph captures the image of a Tibetan Buddhist monk, or Lama, in the picturesque town of Darjeeling, India. The monk is shown with his head bowed in deep concentration, his eyes closed in prayer as he begs for alms from the passing crowd. He carries a small tambourine in one hand and a tiny horn pipe in the other, instruments often used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals and ceremonies. The monk's traditional robes, adorned with intricate beadwork and intricate patterns, are a testament to his devotion and commitment to his spiritual practices. His shaved head and the distinctive red markings on his forehead signify his monastic status. The monk's expression conveys a sense of peace and tranquility, despite the humble circumstances of his begging. Darjeeling, located in the northern part of West Bengal, India, has long been a popular destination for travelers and spiritual seekers. The area is known for its stunning natural beauty, with its lush tea gardens and breathtaking views of the Himalayas. It also has a rich cultural heritage, with a significant Tibetan Buddhist population. This photograph provides a glimpse into the daily life of a Tibetan monk in Darjeeling during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions and practices of Tibetan Buddhism, and the resilience and devotion of those who follow the path of the Dharma.
