A house for Shiva and Parvati


This is the 18th-century house built by King Rana Bahadur Shah and dedicated to Hindu Gods Shiva and Parvati. In the heavily ornamented top floor there are carved and painted wooden images of Shiva and Parvati in mortal form. They rest on the window rail, looking out over the passing people and over the passing events. They have witnessed numerous coronations, festivals and processions and might be curious "what's next?"

  2. Actually, I have been there at Budhanilkanta. However, at the time didn't have a camera with me so no photos. And yeah the statue is awesome.
