Pashupatinath Temple Reflected

Kathmandu, Nepal, 2010

This is a very small portion of the Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most significant Hindu temples of Lord Shiva in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflected in Bagmati River.

For James' Weekend Reflections. Details better seen enlarged.

    What rich textures. A great photo!

    Shiva, the destroyer who clears the way for the new and dances on the head of the demon in his circle of fire. He is the one whom the children in school always remember :)

    I guess, since you are not Hindu, this was as close as you were going to get to this holy temple!

    i was planning on saying that i like the red... but on closer inspection I wonder if that was not an attempt to erase some graffiti? maybe they should have painted the whole wall - now that would have been dramatic!

    Wow, I'm envious! Our son was at the border of Nepal -because he was in India for 3 weeks He has a former room mate that's now a doctor, working in Nepal. He suggested to our son not to go in, because it may be hard to get out...but with your job you probably don't encounter that problem:):)
    By the way, great reflection!

    Which is more beautiful, the temple or its reflection? It's impossible to decide!

    LOVE THAT REFLECTION!

    Tell reflections that you love them,
    Spurn reflections, if you dare.
    Keep reflections out of darkness,
    Keep them in the sun’s harsh glare!

    Gorgeous shot and reflection! I would guess this place is open to the public.

    Can you imagine how much time and money has gone into the building religious structures around the world since the beginning of time and how much could have been done with that energy and money if it had been expended toward actually helping people in need?

    Re the WV - no problems so far. I'm getting lots of spam - porn stuff from anonymous - but I had that before and I simply delete it.

    A beautiful place with a lovely reflection, Francisca. I wonder if the river had anything to do with it being declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Saving rivers is as important as, if not more important than saving ancient buildings, and to save the two together would be great.

    Beautiful Francisca! How many World Heritage Sites have you visited? I'm betting it's quite a few.

    The colors are marvelous Francisca. Digital colors are way over the top too often.
