the tibetan buddhists have a very interesting way of praying. they constantly move from the standing position to prostrating completely flat on the ground in an endless pattern, seemed very strenuous. here they are in different positions of praying42 views

the Garden of Dreams! what an evocative name, and so disappointing. 3 minutes walk from our hotel, we got lost & got to it after walking around for 40 minutes & finally taking rickshaws. basically nicely maintained old colonial garden42 views
