It’s been a life long dream of mine to ride a buffalo.

Chibaha

The main ornamental structure in bahas (as Buddhist monasteries are called in Newari) of Kathmandu Valley were chaityas with images of the Buddha facing the four directions and topped by a stupa resembling Swayambhu. The chaityas stood on rectangular pedestals that had lotus designs carved into their outer faces. The lower part of the chaityas showed the Buddha in different poses and various other Buddhist iconography. The courtyards of bahas were also used for daily work, as children’s playgrounds and as resting places. Young girls wearing loose trousers, chaubandi cholo and huge silver kalli on their ankles are playing hopscotch. Nearby on a pati (public resting place), an old man sits smoking while a woman works at a spinning wheel.
