Bhaktapur
In contrast to the Patan Bhaktapur - Hindu city. Prior to Bhaktapur from Kathmandu - 13 km on the bus or trolley. On the road - a small town Thimi, the center of potters. Bus dovozit only to the bus station on the outskirts of the city. Then you can go only on foot. Transportation within the city sharply limited, and motorcycles are prohibited.The town is relatively small, and it can go round for a few hours.
In Patani many small and fine temples. In Bhaktapur not so many temples, but they are grand and striking grandeur. The main temples are concentrated in three areas, connected gulyatelnymi streets. In Bhaktapur not so many tourists, although the city seems specially oiled for tourists. In the shops selling pots, dolls and masks, which in Bhaktapur are the best.
In Bhaktapur several sacred ponds, from which a snake crawling out of stone.
Durbar Square elongated and curved. On her several monumental temples, to which we climb up the ladder through the gallery of stone lions and elephants. From the high temples called visibility. At a small temple of Shiva-Parvati from the western entrance to the square engraved scenes of animal Kama Sutra - with copulating elephants and rhinos. Shiva and Parvati represent the productive force and cruelty to animals. Over the Golden Gate - the Royal Palace with the sacred pond. In some deep courtyards of the palace passage is closed.
A hundred meters from the Durbar square - square Taumadhi Tole, with tall five-storied pagoda Nyatapole. In an area of about a dozen exquisite temples, one of which is transformed into a restaurant. Over a kilometer to the east of the city is another area Tachupal Tole, which also dozens of churches. One of the temples dedicated to Dattaraya, which was Degenerators Vishnu, Shiva, the teacher and cousin of the Buddha, so that the temple devotees venerate, shayvitami and Buddhists. Squares connected gulyatelnymi streets decorated with festive flags. We walked around the circle to the outskirts of the city, came to the reeds, where black pigs grunted, stinking kilometer (upper castes do not dare to even approach the pigs), the bridge had been out of town, and again entered the city from the temple complex of Lord Shiva and Parvati with burial bonfires. Back we went through the northern outskirts of the city past the elegant temple of Mahakali.
The city came to us an official at the City Hall and had questioned us, how we relate to communism and Gorbachev. Then he took our small donations to the restoration of the city, selling tickets for this special.
