The holy temple in Bhaktapur

 We are now heading over to the former king's temple. Depending on the city's fortune, temples are erected to the various deities as a gift of thanksgiving or appeasement.



 The front door is heavily gilded.
 Here are the most amazing and intricate wood carvings that the Nepalis are famous for.



I wasn't allowed to enter, just to gaze at this lintel. The carving is so exquisite.
