I 2005 my friend spiros and i printed 108 shirts with an image of the goddess ganga adorning its front. the words BATHED~BEATEN~BLESSED written on the sleeve. GENTLY DOWN on the back and THE STREAM on the front.
Our project was to take these 108 shirts to North India and bring them on out their personal yatra. bathed in the mother Ganga in Haridwar, beaten and washed in traditional dobi whala style in the Ganga at Uttarkashi and finally blessed in a special ceremony at the Gange Temple in Gangotri in the Himalayas.
It was no easy task, I assure you. One day I will write of all the details of what turned out to be an amazing and successful adventure. for now, i tell the story in pictures.
