  2. 2. (b) Nepal — It is the capital of Nepal.
  3. 3. (c) Hindus — It is a Hindu temple.
  4. 4. (d) Buddhist — It is a Buddhist stupa.
  5. 5. The Pashupatinath temple and the Boudhanath stupa.
  6. 6. Pashupatinath is crowded and noisy; Boudhanath is calm and peaceful.
  7. 7. In 'Kathmandu', Vikram Seth draws a vivid contrast between two famous religious sites in the city. The Pashupatinath temple, sacred to Hindus, is shown as a place of great bustle and noise. It is crowded with priests, pilgrims and worshippers, and there is activity everywhere — animals wandering about, vendors, and a sense of disorder and energy that almost overwhelms the visitor. In sharp contrast, the Boudhanath stupa, a Buddhist shrine, is calm, peaceful and orderly. Its quiet atmosphere offers a sense of serenity quite different from the chaos of Pashupatinath. By placing these two pictures side by side, the author shows how two different forms of worship, with completely different moods, exist together in the same city, and he conveys the rich variety of religious life in Kathmandu.
