Hahaha .. catch .. but frankly feel like throwing up ..
Streets of Bhaktapur (and its colors)
As if time slows down or stands still, you can sense the traditions and old ways of how life used to be in Bhaktapur.
Swee !!

You're right, LowLights.
I must admit with shame that often times I just shoot and forgot about the emotional aspect of the picture.
I got to start reminding myself to be on the look out for scene with emotions to portray.
I think this round Melvin has really outdone himself in this aspect.
I will be looking forward to more emotion in the days to come on our trek up to see Everest.
Keep up the good work, Melvin!

Dear all, thank you all for the generous compliments and kind praises. I believe there are more nitpicking for those photos. I was blessed to have travel with so many great master who are ever so willing to share their opinions from all the photos sharing.
I believe many of us have many more great shots from the mountains and villages and of cos baktapur. They must been busy and have yet to show their photos. I humbly ask all others to share with us their perspective of the holi festival/Nepal and the lukla region.
Weehow don't say that, both yourself and lowlights' past UWa shots were my inspirations and motivation for this trip 20mm lens.. And.... When the trip starts at lukla. I believe all the rest will start showing all their best kept secrets.

Day 3 - Visiting the Durbar Square, Kathmandu.
We walked all the way from our hotel, braving the crowd and the joyous exuberance of Holi all along the lanes of Kathmandu until we arrived at Kathmandu's Durbar Square.
Not forgetting the fact that we visited Bhaktapur's Durbar Square the day before, this Durbar Square in Kathmandu is a little different from the other Durbar Square back there in Bhaktapur.
Here, we saw Indians celebrating Holi Festival in their own ways.
From what Mahesh explained to us, the way the Indians offer their prayers is slightly different from the way the Nepalis do. But the difference escaped me.
The Temple of the Kumari of Kathmandu
After we walked past the main Palatial building at Durbar Square (Kathmandu), and saw the jubilant pair of men dancing their way crazy with the yellow powders spraying all over themselves, we arrived at the entrance of the Temple in which the Kumari of Kathmandu lives.
This is another holy Temple and according to Mahesh, the Kumari of Kathmandu would only show her face only on a couple of occasions in a year.
Sometimes the lucky few visitors who gaze up from the courtyard of the compound might catch a sight of her in the hall of the second floor...
So on this day, the whole lot of us simply just stood there and gazed and gazed, in hope of catching a glimpse of the Living Goddess...
... and keeping our lenses aimed at the window in the futile attempt...
... only to see the Father and the Mother of the Kumari, but not of the holy virgin herself.
