Durbar Square in Kathmandu
We drove on Durbar Square nevarsky lad of eighteen, who met us on the street. Money he demanded. He vaguely spoke English, and mingled with many Nepali words. Each temple he treated with great deference and told endless stories. He did not let us go, not yet revealed all fifty churches.The largest temple is the temple Taledzhu, nine-leveled tall pagoda, dedicated to the patron deity of the Malla dynasty. The temple is open only for Nepalis every year.
On the square in the face, mostly three-tiered pagoda, a bowl square than round, surrounded by steps, some steep steps of temples rise very high.
Temples stuck without any order, and adjacent to one another. The very style of pagodas appeared in Nepal and from there infiltrated into China. The premises of the temple is usually small, some churches are reviewed thoroughly, but the entrance to the temples for the Europeans always open. Often churches are asleep or poor fools, some live there permanently and sweep the temple and step around it (that does not prevent them defecate, moving away from the temple on two feet). Often, churches are sitting yoga. Usually around the temples of Siva throughout Nepal engraved erotic scenes. Above the entrance to the temple often hang a mirror to put on his forehead tick - a red dot. Tika associated with blood sacrifices.
Impressive huge black Bayrab (Shiva), with a belt of skulls and a necklace of skulls around his head, he handed her numerous breaks in a human hand and foot. Above it hung the sun and moon, he tramples for human victim. We've seen a holiday around Bayraba when mothern women brought him food, and a group of older men sang songs, sitting on the steps of a neighboring temple. Women are spread around Bayraba food, decorate it with flowers and bottled oil. Then the sanctified food, women are taken home, leaving Bayrabu little rice.
At the entrance to the former royal palace is red Hanuman (monkey king of the Ramayana). Often red statue of Hanuman, Narisingha (man-lion incarnation of Vishnu) and Ganesha put together, and they worship the many passers-by. Beautiful they make contact with many hands with a red powder. For hundreds of years a person Hanuman grease from touching and facial features are indistinguishable.
In a special palace living goddess Kumari. Once the king Malla into an affair with not reached maturity girl who died as a result. In the form of remorse kings began to read a girl as a living deity and incarnation of Durga. Kumari protects the kings and blesses them in the kingdom. Once a Kumari is blessed is not the old king and the young and the old king died shortly afterwards. Nominate Kumari at the age of 4-5 years with the canonical features and specific horoscope. A candidate must pass a series of tests, including intimidation masked demons. Kumari takes up residence in the palace with his family and lived until the age of puberty. Only once a year she was allowed to go out, carry it across town. But, as we have seen, the goddess of life is not so boring. To her all the time guests arrive, including many children and they are worn around the palace. If hail Kumari, she will appear in the second window. K Kumari come a teacher and she gets a good education.
