Answers
Answer:
The above questions are about the famous temple and other tourist places in Nepal
Explanation:
1)There are two very famous temples One is Pashupathinath temple and Baudhnath Shrine.
Pashupatinath temple is a very busy Hindu temple in Nepal.There are monkeys all over the temple.
On the other hand the Baudhnath Shrine is very peaceful shrine.The people go there for meditation.So it's very peaceful.
2)Kathmandu’s busiest streets are narrow. They are full of life. There are small temples with colourful deities along these streets. The street is full of vendors and shops. Some are selling things which are used in worship. Then there are hawkers selling fruits. There is a flute seller as well playing melodiously on his flute. There is total cacophony as loudspeakers are blaring different kinds of music.
3)The flute is one of the basic musical instruments. It is the simplest yet closest to the human breathing. One needs to breathe life into it to play it soulfully. If the flute player stops to catch his breath then the flute stops playing. Moreover, almost all civilizations have some kind of flute.
Because of its prevalence around the world and its closeness to the human breathing the author says that to hear any flute is to be drawn into the commonality of all mankind
I hope this solves all the three questions
