Budhanath Stupa -- part 2

One Saturday we were there was both a holy day and a full moon, a combination that brought out lots of people.

People walk clockwise around the stupa. Many spin the prayer wheels as the go..

The crowds viewed through prayer flags.

















Buddhist monks playing music as people leave donations of food for the poor.
Lighting a candle.



Candles glowing in the dark.
