    Although Nepal is predominantly a Hindu nation, Buddhism finds its roots here. Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha is located in Nepal and the numerous stupas make it a pilgrimage destination for Buddhist monks world over. by: tanayasurve Views[855] A little monk, stares into my lenses as I walk into one of the oldest monasteries of Ladakh - Lamayuru. by: nraman Views[709] A symbiotic relationship between a monkey and a monk living peacefully for each other . by: minakshi_singh Views[1436] My next destination were something one can't miss when in Dharamshala, the Tibetan monasteries. This was my 2nd day of the journey. The Buddhist religion is known for their simple living and peaceful nature which in turn has made many people around the world follow it. The monasteries are an art in itself, the vibrancy and the peace one can experience here is divine. I took this shot at the Gyoto monastery, one of the lesser visited monastery situated about 10 km from the main town of Dharamshala. I reached here about 1 hour prior to the afternoon prayers and got real good time to shoot the beauty of the monastery. Just before the main prayer, one of the monks came in to offer his prayers. The timing got precise for me and this one turned out to be one of the best shot of my trip. by: karankpl Views[1003] by: federico_caminada Views[514]

    The bridge has the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, attached to it, but is most commonly known as the Chain Bridge. At the time of its construction, it was regarded as one of the modern world's engineering wonders.[citation needed] It has asserted an enormous significance in the country's economic, social and cultural life, much as the Brooklyn Bridge has in New York and America. Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, have elevated the Chain Bridge to a high stature in Europe. It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West.: by temberowa, Views[370]
