Rangichangi Nepal

Namaste

One of the things in Kathmandu, that makes a real impression, is how colourful everything is. I have taken hundreds of photos and in many the colours really jump out at you.  The word Rangichangi, in the title, pronounced just as it is spelled, means colourful. I really like the word, it sounds lovely and it sums up my thoughts of Nepal.
On this page I share some of the best scenes, along with short explanations.

The women and girls are usually beautifully dressed in colourful
saris or kurthoa suruwaal (tunics and trousers).

A stall selling garlands made of marigold flowers.
When I arrived a garland was hung around my neck in
welcome. They are also used to decorate shrines.

Decorating a shrine with ribbons, flowers and
garlands ready for a festival.

Coloured umbrellas give much needed shade to
stall holders outside a temple.

Beautifully painted stone lions who guard the
entrance to the royal palace. 

Offerings, comprising of flower petals, fruit, seeds and rice put
together on a plate made of leaves, on sale beside one of the
temples.
