Question

What do you think of the chapter KATHMANDU ?

Answer 1

Answer:

 The writer, Vikram Seth, stayed in a cheap room in the centre of Kathmandu town. He visited the Pashupatinath temple, sacred to Hindus, and the Baudhnath stupa, the holy shrine of the Buddhists.

The author purchased a bar of marzipan and corn cooked on charcoal fire, alongwith some comics and a Reader's Digest. He ate the edibles while reading those books.

Explanation:

The narrator describes Kathmandu as vivid, mercenary, religious and crowded place. While the temples, bazars and streets are noisy and in chaos, the Buddhist shrine is comparatively peaceful. The hawkers and shops fill the streets.
