Katmandu 20 Mar 2014: part 2.

 

On the right is a guard in traditional uniform within the Royal Palace; the last King was deposed (retired?) in 2008 when a coalition government with Marist elements was formed as part of a peace agreement that appears to have stuck.

Top left is a photo taken from level 4 of the "9 level Palace" looking out through the Palace.

Bottom left is a man in traditional Nepalise dress silently watching speakers at a High School protest for "respect women". We saw the students marching earlier in the day, not knowing that they were headed to Durbar Square.
