Kathmandu Architecture

Looking at the many styles of architecture in central Kathmandu was a constant source of interest as I investigated the city. This varied from very modern buildings which would not have been out of place in any city anywhere through to ancient buildings many centuries old.

Many were beautiful and others were downright dowdy and run down. Some, like the one shown in the photo below, were decorated in ways we are not accustomed to here in Australia. I do not know the purpose of this building but the decorations suggest some religious connection.
