“I’m from Sweden and I came to London to study fashion. I started off my education in Stockholm in dressmaking and tailoring. I did an internship for the theatre and eventually worked for a tailor for quite a few years. I also worked as a buyer for an interiors store and at the same time I did my own one-off pieces that I sold in a few stores in Stockholm. But I wanted to be part of a team and I wanted an education in fashion. So I went to Middlesex University for a BA then I ended up at the Royal College of Art.” Profile

The cloaked image of the deity is surrounded by scaffolding to protect it in case the neighbouring buildings collapse. Along the palace complex, and in Durbar Square in general, most of the edifices are cordoned off to protect the public. Yet, despite the dangers, thousands of people worship the Hanuman and other deities nearby, daily. Travelogue
