Because, clearly, carrying a briefcase prepares you for saving the snow leopard.

Pashupatinath is not merely a temple; it is the beating heart of the Hindu world, the ultimate sanctuary of Lord Shiva. Yet, as we stand upon the Arya Ghat, we are forced to confront a reality that is far from divine.
