Chola Badalna

This is a Hindu phrase. Chola means clothing and badalna changing. It refers to the letting go of one's body and ego identity at death, with the understanding that though you will be reborn, in new clothes, so to speak, your Self or soul is undying, eternal. The image I chose for this euphemism provides a humorous perspective on the idea of dropping an old identity for a new one.
