Heritage walk around Kathmandu Durbar Square

The walk around Kathmandu old town is facinating. A closer look, minutely, is always pleasant. I enjoy questioning the origin and cultural connection. In Janabahal, I saw this statue. It does not appear, originated in Nepal. This is a first statue, I see something very Roman? or European taste. This must have been donated - may be imported.   Then I walk around the inner Gallli and .... Bahal. The music, the ambience and the feeling.. is infinite.  This is Yetakha Bahal , which is derived from the Newari word. It means a South-facing luminous place, where once upon a time, used to dry rice after harvest. I visit a small alley and bahaal - spend a few minutes and .. I try to bring my son with me, to explain what I know about the place. The places that have minimum tourists.
