Muktinath Temple

Bells in the Muktinath Temple

Hindus and Buddhists alike visit Muktinath since hundreds of years. Its a very holy place where you can find water, air and fire on the same place.

In the middle of the Muktinath Temple area is a gallery with hundreds of bells of all sizes surrounded by the "108 Water Spouts" (you can hear them quite well in the background) where pilgrims fill water of all 108 different sources into a bootle to drink this holy water and also to bring it home.

The bells fascinated me a lot and the picture shows a very interesting arrangement.

Recorded with Zoom H2 and Soundman OKM.

Sakya Monastery, Kagbeni

kagbeni

Early morning in Kagbeni, Mustang,Nepal. In the background the Anapurna.

About the recording: In the afternoon we visited the Kag Chode Thupten Samphel Ling or Sakya Monastery founded by Tenpai Gyaltsen in 1429. When the light went off around 10 o'clock the monks started their celebration in the monastery.

I put my Zoom H2 into the open window of our bathroom to record the ceremony which happend 200 meters away. So you'll get the door, the water tripping, ... animals.
