At Swayambhu, where the largest Buddha statue is located. Notice how Hinduism and Buddhism are intertwined here. Many Nepalese think that Buddhism is part of Hinduism, since Siddhartha Guatama was a Hindu born in Lumbini in Nepal before he attained enlightenment and became Buddha.

We came across a Nepali shoot in Kathmandu while covering a press conference at a nearby hotel. You just gotta love the costumes...
