In Dunbar Square in Kathmandu there are many gurus selling photographs of themselves (but today, there were only two, as seen pictured with Danielle). In the old days, they used to be mystics giving out advise but now they are just tourist attractions.
The sqaure is a World Heritage site and is pretty interesting. For little more than 3USD you can enter the square and visit many temples. One main attraction is the Kumari, a 6 year old child who is touted as a diety. Lucky Kid? She has public appearences in alot of make up all day long. NO Photos Allowed! Kumari are prepubescent girls selected from the community who lives in a palace as a bodily incarnation of the goddess Taleju.
