The first of many free-roaming cows, randomly hanging out in Kathmandu and the Valley. It is a crime punishable by 2 years in jail in Nepal to kill a cow (the holy animal in Hinduism). Good thing the traffic is so bad that you can never get going fast enough to possibly hit a rogue street cow hard enough to kill one...) Forget getting a good steak, or any steak, in Nepal.
Kal Bhairav. This stone image of Bhairav represents the deity Shiva in his destructive form. It is the most famous Bhairav and it is used by the government as a place for people to swear the truth.
Street Vendor in Durbur Square. I couldn't identify a single thing he was selling, although the things in the middle looked like mini-candles.
Shiva-Parbati Temple. The wooden figures in the window are Mahadev and Parvati.
The Old Palace, the namesake of Durbur Square.
