For me it was a new experience seeing all baba&#8217;s taking puff of ganja (Marijuana).<\/p>\n<p>Some incident that happen there forced me to post some of the picture.<\/p>\n<p>I saw the naked baba, he was exposing his genitals, and police request this baba to no to show his genitals. Later I came to know he is a bilateral amputee.<\/p>\n<p>Before this, Avishek was taking some close up picture of one baba. When this baba noticed Avishek, he shouted \u201cCAMERA KHICCH LO&#8221; (get the camera) and ran after him. Avishek\u00a0 shouted back &#8220;I have not taken your picture&#8221; and left that place.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The most interesting part was one person stoned with ganja was trying to take a short cut to Pashupatinath temple without getting in line. He tried to cross the river <strong>Bagmati<\/strong>, he was about to drown. Lucky him, one person saw him and dived inside the river and pulled him to the shore.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I did not like was our Holy River Bagmati, is like Holly Shit. It was not polluted few year back. But now it is disgusting to see the river. I think we general public should be aware to save the identity of our Holy River.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was fun to be at Pashupatinath temple today. Hey guys if you have not visited Pashupatinath on this particular day then please make it next year. You will enjoy and experience new things. Yeah off course if you like ganja, then it will be fun too. Don\u2019t fear that police will interfere. I talked to some of them, they said it&#8217;s a tradition going on for centuries and we should consider it for today.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a title=\"dsc_0006.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0006.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Naked bilateral amputee baba\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0006.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Naked bilateral amputee baba<\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0051.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0051.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Baba showing his long hair\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0051.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baba showing his long hair<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0064.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0064.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Modern baba with a fake Ganja Puff\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0064.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Modern baba with a fake Ganja Puff<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0009.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0009.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dsc_0009.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0009.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Does it look like safe to live there ?<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0042.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0042.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"People trying to take short cut route\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0042.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">People taking short cut to get inside Pashupatinath Temple<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0040.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0040.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Being humane, a person save another being drowned\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0040.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salute to this kind hearted person in blue shirt to save that person who was stoned and trying to cross the river<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a title=\"dsc_0018.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0018.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dsc_0018.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0018.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"dsc_0056.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0056.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Female security personnel\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sangesh.com.np\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc_0056.jpg?resize=500%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Do I need to shout for woman rights ?
