Boudha Stupa

    Stupa is a very sacred  place for all Buddhist. It is a very big dome like structure ( damaged during the big earthquake).
Normally all monks, tourists and general public go around the stupa moving the bells around. I observed them chanting with the help of their rosaries. It is said that the remains of all great Buddhist monks  are placed inside the stupa.(very few people are allowed to see inside the stupas).                      

Dinner and lunch the Monastery and the orphanage---

At  the monastery all children sat on a cushion and ate at a  low table. At the orphanage (the children's home) they sat on a thin carpet and ate. Food at both places was same (Rice and dal, lentil soup) Following are also the pictures of two hard working ladies who spend all day cooking for forty people in the monastery and eighteen people in the orphanage. They cook  breakfast, lunch and dinner for all.
