During celebrations, when the family is together (such as Dashain) elder people of the family may give blessings to other members of the family, by placing tikka on the forehead.
The photo I think shows this quite well. It is of Bodhraj's Grandmother giving a blessing (placing tikka on the forehead) to Bodhraj's mother.
Another aspect of Nepali life, which took a bit of time for me to get used to, is you will often see Nepali's eat with their hands. Now this is a little harder than I thought, but I think I have a basic grasp of it, as I've been trying to do as the locals do. This photo is of me trying to do this, eating a bit of Dahl Baht (rice with lentil soup)
