A small Hindu temple stood on the corner of the town. There are temples everywhere in Kathmandu. That is why it is said that more gods live in Kathmandu than people. As I passed by this temple, I saw a woman standing at the entrance. She was scratching her back and looking into the distance. There was no sense of tranquility in her figure. Both the woman and the temple in the center of Kathmandu are completely integrated into the hustle and bustle of the city.
I looked at the roofs of the temple and saw shingles hanging from the top. It is called Dhvaju, which is one of the features of Nepalese temple architecture along with Torana, Tundal, and Gajura. It is considered to be a symbol that indicates the path of the descent of God.
