A little task and morning meal lead to o'1011 hour. Waiting for power to come which was set to come at o'1100 hour, but sadly it didn't come i just checked up the batteries and took off at o'1121 hour.
My aunt asked me where i am heading today, even i was not sure where i am going.

| Focused of Nandi |
Sitting on the banks of the pond enjoying the weather and the environment. My eyes caught on the Swallow Birds. I saw them flying, feeding off of the fish food and taking dip into the pond. It was o'1319 hour and i am still sitting on the banks and taking the shots of the birds, man they are fast and amazing. They seem to fly in a mega speed even in 1\2500 shutter speed i cant get a proper shot.
Changing Places for a perfect shot. The above shots are what i really ended up with.
Walking along the banks reached to temple of
Kamalbinayak - the deity of teaching children to speak.
It is belived that the deity helps Children to speak when they are unable to do so even after the due period of speak.
Parents take the child unable to speak to the shrine of KamalBinayak, and then make offerings as pledged, and then leave the child alone there for some time.
Strange right.?
Well you haven't heard anything yet.
We live in a country where
"Gods live with Mortals"

It was o'1357 hour
and
the rain started to pour. I didnt wanna leave the place, stay a bit longer enjoy the environment and see the birds but here comes the rain.

Last shot of the pond
A Small Hut in the main Road |
 |
| he was the one who recited me the name of the place |
Running from the rain i ended up in Kowathadhau Tole, crazy name right.? that's what i thought. I could not read the name written in the banners being weak in reading Nepali. Gosh.! Then i asked kid there what place it was.? He then replied Kowathadhau Tole, everyone there were enjoying the weather with few drops of rain.
What i then saw amazed me people staying in a long line to fill up the empty bottles of water. I was like "even here..even here in Bhaktapur, scarcity of water".
Stayed there fore a while and took some shots.

Took off from there as i reached to Tachapal Tole at o'1419 hour.
I was inside Bhaktapur Durbar Square;
at Dattatreya temple and straight from it was way to the main square.
Being a public holiday today, i expected lots of people to be roaming in the main square.
So, i took the main road.
I even discovered the road to ChanguNarayan, which was 6km from the place
and
walked to the temple i saw while in the bus.

and

After that thought of returning back to Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
As the rain started to pour again.

Entered
Bhaktapur Durbar Square and walking around i have never entered
the Golden Gate of the Square,
so got in.

Got inside the
Golden Gate and entered
Mul Chowk,
before getting in the
Taleju temple i have to leave all my stuffs behind.
Which i didnt and entered
Nag Pokhari right side form the entrance.
A Magnificent place and eye-popping idols of snakes.
17th Century water tank used for the ritual immersion of the idol of
Taleju.
The pool is encircled by a writing stone
Cobra and more serpents rising up in the middle
and at the end of the tanks,
where water used to pour form a magnificent dhara
in form of a goat eaten by a
makar.
Its o'1549 hour and i still don't wanna move a muscle from this place
but here comes the rain again..argg.!
Got out of
Mul Chowk,
i was in search of writing spot where i can write down my today's journal.
It was o'1555 hour
and
I decided to sit in front of
55 Windowed Palace.

| 55 Windowed Palace |
The temple was called
Chyasilin temple,
Puppies were sleeping under the stairs of the temple;
I had a packet of bisket in my bag pack,
I fed them and well started my journal.
Many people passed by and guys back of me were playing CandyCrush.
People were stopping by and taking snaps in front of two brass lions where i am sitting.
I became photo spoiler for some people.
At o'1600 hour the huge bell rang, as it dose always each hour.
Its Actually, o'1629 hour now and its still raining.
I guess i will be stuck here for a while.
