Namaste 
Things  I am writing today is kinda different, as you guys know this is not a travel blog but couldn't stop myself  to write about the cultural richness of a place that I love to visit often . 

Nepal is full of treasures cultural heritage, blessed with natural beauties, vegetation, wildlife and  . 

We are blessed with such astonishing and unique sites that within the area of 140,800 sq km. We have  one of the highest concentration of the sites recognized by UNESCO as  World Heritage Sites. We have our own rich and unique culture which has evolved over the centuries. The geographical and ethnic diversity of the country has widely resulted in the rich diverse culture of the country. As the country was never colonized by any superpowers of the world, Nepal’s cultural uniqueness has been intact. Nepal has diverse ethnic, tribal and social groups manifesting their own unique music, dance, art, craft, folktales, festivals, languages and literature. Nepal has various sites to satisfy the desire of the one looking to explore the rich art and culture. 

55- window palace

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage site  located about 20 km east of the Kathmandu. Bhaktapur is also known as a “City of Devotees” and “ Nepal’s Cultural Gem”. Bhaktapur is filled with palaces and temples with elaborate carvings, gilded roofs, carved wooden columns and open courtyards. The Bhaktapur Durbar square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhar-style temples grouped around a fifty-five window palace. The city has numerous artistically crafted Hindu and Buddhist shrines. 
This square reflects the lavishness of Newar cultural and how grounded Nepali people are. The pottery, the lifestyle, traditional attire of local people, the festivals proudly celebrated here, handicrafts and many more makes tourist visit time and again.

It really is a good place with all the positive and religious vibes and hangout with friends which makes us to forget the traffic, modern houses, dense population of Kathmandu where I actually belong. And Juju dhau, the king of curd, going Bhaktapur and not tasting curd how is that possible. The Newar food you get there is mouth watering. 
I have got few pictures showing the heritage and me posing off course, how can I dissatisfy you guys. hahahahaha... Well I didn't want to miss the opportunity to capture  the beauty which will make my pictures beautiful, no doubt.

Ghagra choli

Selection of the clothes according to the occasion, time or mood reflects the taste of a person. Fashion does not necessarily means that one has to wear what is common to all.

With time fashion has become part of DNA of everyone. Every one poses their own style of perusing fashion they like. Either he is teen or adult, men or women everybody are into fashion.

Everyone likes to be special and unique where as in some situation being unique is as being lonely and far from the world, for this purpose there are different trends, and designers that make a person dress the way he likes and the way it fits his personality.

Moreover there is a story behind what people wear. It is not as simple as we can conclude from the first look; time is needed to adopt fashion. Thus taking time in choosing clothes and coming up with a style is an essential issue to take into consideration since it became a way of judging a one's personality and mood. 

Personally, I am fond of complimentary colors and mixing brighter tones with dark. I have  paired  a boho uneven hem skirt and sleeveless blouse with a bright colored traditional Nepali hand loom Dhaka shawl. The overall set has the essence of Ghagra choli  which used to be very popular in old days in Nepal. And used to be worn by ladies during the special occasions. Design of the blouse and skirt is way different than that used to be, as time changes design changes too... hahaha. ..

My Ghagra choli was for the reception party as I wanted to stand out from the crowd, yes mission accomplished. All the ladies were in embroidered lehenga choli, kurtis, sari and western outfits but I was in .........  (happy day for me..)
I believe in minimalism so little makeup and no exaggerated accessories. And other secret behind this is I had just an hour to get ready after office business .
