Maybe in south; I havent been there for a long time now. :-) We love jewelery; dont we? :)<br /><br /><b>Ramya,</b><br /><br />Yup! Yeah the combination of Ganeshji and Buddha were good. Thanks :)<br /><br /><b>Destiny's child,</b><br /><br />Exactly, but an autobiography by a ex-kumari reveals its not as disturbing as they claim. :-)<br /><br /><b>Melange,</b><br /><br />The Hindu temples are as exquisite as Buddhist temples Melange. The thing is most hindu temples dont allow photography to showcase the beauty :) Its difficult to claim ownership as Hindu art of Buddhist art; their art is distinct and they call it Newari - a combination of Buddhism and Hinduism.<br /><br />Haha thanks; glad you like that girl :)<br /><br />Yes; the dorje - you bow your head and bang your forehead against the dorje. <br /><br /><b>A,</b><br /><br />Yup! it was new to us as well. They do use regular calendar. Yeah, we were joking that had they allowed the British inside; they would have railways :-)<br /><br /><b>Stranger,</b><br /><br />Yup! Thanks a lot; glad you liked them<br /><br /><b>Ashwini,</b><br /><br />:-) Yeah. Thank you<br /><br /><b>Rachna,</b><br /><br />Yes Rachna, the place has unique flavor to it. We all get attracted to those chunky jewelery isnt it?<br /><br /><b>clouds,</b><br /><br />Thank you :)<br /><br /><b>kavita,</b><br /><br />Exactly; I was about to write about that in my next post. They are not pushy; they dont haggle; they are sweet. For them; guests are god literally. Thank you; glad you liked the pics.<br /><br /><b>Chowla sir,</b><br /><br />Yes; but we did see few people sneaking inside with leather belts and all.<br />Yeah thats a matter of concern; chinese chinese everywhere<br /><br /><b>Bik,</b><br /><br />Yes!! Thanks <br /><br /><b>Balan,</b><br /><br />We loved the motorbike as well Balan, thats why got it along with us<br />Haha, thats how I am Balan. I am a low maintenance girl; most often have the unkempt look and moreover with all that traveling; who has time to comb and look neat?
