Tihar - KTM

We returned to KTM and were able to see some of the big city celebration of Tihar.

And we finally realized why we saw marigolds growing everywhere!

We saw mandalas throughout KTM - using all kinds of mediums (sand, chalk, seeds and beans).  Mandala is Sanskrit for circle and they have spiritual and ritual significance in both the Hindu and Buddhist religions.
