virtually an open air museum of magnificent Hindu and Buddhist art
and architecture. What makes this vibrant, if congested, old Asian
city so fascinating is that it is a museum in full use today. No
matter that a temple structure was built centuries ago for a
religious community, it may be part of a active elementary school
now, with soccer play, wheremonks or priests once danced and
chanted. There are fifteenth century shrines and temples literally
to the left and right as one walks, among crowds, in the busy
markets. Hindu men, women, and children are often seen making their
morning pujas (prayer offerings of food and flowers) in front of
magnificent small and large stone deity images, some are ancient.
Buddhists, with prayer wheels circling in their hands, are also
observed making their daily Kora (walking meditations) around
gleaming white stupas found in many parts of this religious city.
Narrow, brick-paved curving alleys remind us of the vestiges of
Medieval times among twentieth-century buildings. Hindu culture
focuses upon the celebration of many festivals; each featuring
dances, costumes, lights and decorations, often with bright
marigolds strung in chains. Many celebratory activities are street
parades, very accessible to visitors. There are colorful festivals
to enjoy most months of the year. |
