This is a metal Statue of "Raja" King Bhupatindra Malla situated over a column, at the center of Bhaktapur Durbar Square facing the palace. This magnificent art has experienced the bitter phase of time, but still, you can't stop wondering about its splendour.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder!! One of the temple inside the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The staircase are adorned with stone sculptures of elephant and lions guarding the entrace. The details on the roof are spectacular. And the giant "ghanta", bell produce enchanting music. It must have taken decades to carve this beauty. Dont you think so? :)

This is the entry gate to the historical city or "Dhoka". The pediment is designed with sculptured wood. Though weathered, the details are beautiful. It is the sculpture of the same demon which can be found engraved in most of the Nepali temple pediment.

This is a snap of an old "Dhara" i.e water tap that has lost its water but not its Beauty. A stone sculpture with elephant's trunk and a mouth, it was used as a source of water in ancient times. The details though weathered with time, can be appreciated. As water is regarded as an essential element among the five classical elements, sculpture of god can be seen above and below the 'dhara'. Bhaktapur literally means 'place of devotees' and the details wont disappoint you.

I was mesmerized with the details and the concept. Hope you did too :)

LIFE

Like water, flowing from the wombs of mountain to the plains
Like air, dancing always everywhere
Like music ♪♫, spreading all around without any bounds
like love ♥, sprinkling happiness in all ups and downs

Image credit: Google

But No.... life is not as simple as we think
It has bends and corners within
Sometimes threatening to death, Sometimes taking to extremes of joy
Making life adventurous, full of happiness and cry

Image credit: Google

Like water, but with falls and rise
Like air, sometimes wriggling inside
Like music, sometimes with broken strings of guitar
Like love, sometimes with internal war

 Life is...
     Mixture of all taste and tones
     But still, it's wonderful song
     Without pain, how could you know, what is laughter

 So, Life is the most precious gift of all.
