Four porters transporting lumber for lodge construction (there are no roads, you know) demonstrating four variations of the traditional "namaste" greeting. From left to right: 1) normal, 2) deep and respectful, 3) open palm "salute" common in East Nepal, and 4) enthusiastic version. Also observe that by 1990 three out of four porters wore shoes.
Photo circa 1990.
