the last couple days i have been wandering around taking in the town. the wood and stone carvings are quite beautiful, and appear in the temples, as well as windows and doors of houses.
bhaktapur just had a festival a few days before me coming, so the remains of that were scattered around the temples. while walking around, i came across a celebration to the god kali. god of death and wife to shiva, she is one of the most demanding of the hindu gods and requires sacrifice. quite a spectacle of blood on what was easter.
