Happy To Go Around...

I have been travelling to diverse places lately. Recently Sujan bought his first camera CANON. From the day i bought mine, I have been travelling on my own and capturing. Its was in truth dull and not as much to learn . 

Budhanilkantha:-
I found the chronicle behind this great deity really mesmerizing. A petite research made it more fascinating. Its located at the base of Shivapuri Hill within the Kathmandu valley on the northern side. It is also known as mystical Budhanilkantha temple or Narayanthan temple .Budhanilkantha literally means “Old Blue Throat”. It is only nine kilometer away from the main city. It is a deity of Lord Vishnu; Lord Vishnu is also known as Narayan.It is called Vishnu (Narayan) Jalasayan lying on Ananta Sesa, in the cosmic ocean. The deity is about thousand years old. Lord Vishnu is about five meter (Seventeen fits) long and lying in a thirteen meter (forty three fits) long tank, as if floating with his legs crossed with his sleeping body resting on the coils of Ananta and his 11 hooded head.His four hands hold the four symbols of Vishnu, the Shankha as conch shell, Chakra as disc,Gadha as club and Padma as lotus flower. It is believe that the deity was carved in the seventh or eighth century during the Licchavi period. 

Hindus can walk down the steps and  touch his feet, but   foreigners cannot  walk and touch. It is      with the sacredness of this   particular god that a deep seated  belief was created by King Pratap  Malla through a prophetic dream. It  was his strong belief and fear that should the King of Nepal visit the temple, death would be threatening immediately to fall upon his departure. The two other images of the deity which were carved during the same time lie at two particular destinationa, the Balaju Garden were public viewing can take place and              the beautiful Royal Palace in Kathmandu.It is here at the  temple, however that public  is not permitted.
