Worldwide | Sunday, October 17, 2010 | 5 photos

Kathmandu valley, the most beautiful and religious place of Nepal has attracted many people including me which is the reason why I have selected it for my location of visit and capture the eye catching locations and events.
The visit has turned out frutful as I saw really amazing yet beautiful scenes which will always remain in my mind and camera too.
Kathmandu valley being one of the holy places for the people following Hinduism and Buddhism has different religious monuments as well as the followers of both the religion.Be it the head raising Nyatapol Temple or the dome of Swayambhunath, their immense beauty has attracted every single person who has stepped their foot in this valley. The monkey thieves of Swayambhunath caught my attention while I was capturing the dome.Even the sadhus(Hindu Holy man) made my day when I got to know their passion for gods and their religion.
After returning from Swayambhunath,there were many beggers on the way which realised me about the poor state of our country. The pain in their looks made me feel as if I were in their place suffering from hunger and disgrace.
While travelling from Swayambhunath to Nyatapol temple the mischief of the monkeys, the devotion of the sadhus and the pain of the beggars took my heart and soul away.

I am an undergraduate level student in the field of science. My passion for photography makes me a little bit different from other students of this field. I can feel the emotions of what I see and wish to capture them on my camera. I wish to promote the photography status of the people of Nepal and the whole earth so that they can capture all the emotions they see and share it to the whole world. I have not taken any photography classes no i do have a mentor but my passion to cameras and photos make me want to be a member of this family of photographersand be called a "photographer".
