We Happened to See a Ceremony
by illa
We had no idea what it was for. It was just like everyone was made up and wearing traditional costume. They were very happy. In the two sedans sat a very old man and a very old woman.
The whole team just walked around in the Durbar Square.
Fetching Water
by illa
In the small alleyways, everyday in the late afternoon, women and girls appear with a copper jar under the arms supported by a hip. It's time for them to go to the wells and get water for preparing dinner.
I liked the view very much, one girl appears here, another disappears there...
The City of Artists and Artisans

"Durbar Square"
Across the Bagmati river bridge is Patan. Dating back to the 7th century, the Patan Durbar Square displays intricately hand-carved wood and stone architecture with gilded metal rooftops. The square houses temples, mueaums, common baths, restaurants, and handicraft and souveir shops. The Krishna Mandir holds special significance.
"In Durbar Square"
The entrance fee of the square is 250Rs. However, as it's an open square, if it's not the taxi bringing you to the "entrance", you'd probably find yourself being inside the square without paying, by walking in from other lanes.

Here, religion is an intrinsic part of daily life.
