Sujan

Sujan is a young man from Bode, Bhaktapur, known for participating in a unique cultural tradition where he undergoes a painful ritual of tongue piercing during the Sindur Jatra festival, transforming him for a day into a revered deity. This tradition, which has been passed down through generations in his family, allows him to experience the duality of immense public adoration and the solitude that follows the festivities. Despite the physical pain, Sujan embraces his role and the spiritual significance it holds for the community, providing him with a sense of purpose and connection to his cultural heritage.
