Temple Dancing
We were out for our nightly walk when we heard women singing coming from the Dattatreya Temple . The temple, which was built in 1427, has men singing to the gods most nights, so this was a special event. As we were watching the most energetic elderly women in Bhaktapur invited us to join in. The next thing you know, they have dragged Sandy up to dance with them. I made a short video, which is too dark, but the singing gives you a feel for the atmosphere ... really fun.
