Description
The Mahabuddha temple of Patan is unusual for its obelisk design in a city of pagoda-shaped temples. Terracotta plaques depicting the Buddha cover the entire structure, which is why it is also known as the Temple of the Thousand Buddhas. Begun in the 14th century, it is said it had taken three generations to complete. Impressive from the ground, Ashok took me to the roof of a nearby building so I could capture the details.

Good thing you had Ashok. Fantastic details. Something I have never seen before. Only on photos. It must have been a great time for your travel. While others spend their life in the office, you have to explore the world. Smile .... I imagine just how did you climb to the roof. But I like that. As my husband says, is fine now, I still have always one step further ...
