My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

The Bhoti Tribe, in this Trans Himalayan region, believes the spirit of their deceased Guru enters the body of their village priest and solves queries and complaints of the village gathering, on the occasion of Namkan. The Shaman here entranced by faith, stands with sacred scarves around his head and prayer flags offered, jhandis, at his hand, with trident belief.
