Terricia Govender celebrated her 33rd birthday during a Mount Kailash pilgrimage, sharing a joyful video about meeting Sadhguru days before she was reported missing after flash floods struck Nepal.

Just days before Terricia Govender was reported missing following flash floods in Nepal, the 33-year-old Durban woman shared a joyful video from her Mount Kailash pilgrimage, describing the chance to see spiritual leader Sadhguru as a blessing.

In the 30-second video posted on August 20, Govender can be seen outdoors holding a plate of food as she enthusiastically recounts her day while travelling towards Lake Manasarovar, a sacred pilgrimage destination in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

“I started off the day seeing Sadhguru,” she said.

Govender, from Isipingo Beach, described the encounter as a blessing and said she had been able to see Sadhguru “up close and personal”, the POST reported.
