Nepal: Wood and metal dhvaja< / i> (banner or flag) hang from an eave at a temple in Kathmandu

A <i>dhvaja</i>, literally 'flag', is a long metal strip hanging down from the pinnacle of a temple. Kathmandu is an unexpected and extravagant mixture of peoples and religions, child-goddesses, bare-foot porters padding in back alleys, and sacred cows. The Kathmandu most people come to see is the Old City, a tangled network of narrow alleys, stores and temples located around central Durbar Square.
