Day 6 Photos

This was at the first site we visited, Durbar Square. It is a statue of King Bhupatindra Malla that is in the middle of the square.
This is only one of the windows in the 55 Windows Palace.

The Golden Gate is the entry way to the 55 Windows Palace.
 


Nyatapola Temple is in Taumadhi Square, just a few minutes walk from the first place we visited. It is still standing even after both earthquakes.

These statues run up the side of Nyatapola Temple.  



Unfortunately not every building could withstand the powerful earthquakes and ended up as a huge pile of rubble.


After visiting the two different squares we went to an art school that made paintings of mandalas as well as the Life of Buda and Wheel of Life.
 


On the way back to the vans, we saw this thing in the middle of the road. I'm not really sure what it is but I think it was some part of a festival.
