This statue sits on my coffee table. It’s a human having sex with a Hindu deity. I purchased the erotic piece in Nepal. Shopping in Nepal is an experience!
Scandalous? Sexy? Unsuitable? Not at all. It’s ART. The store merchant reiterated that the statue would bring me luck in the LOVE department with a mysterious man.
Four years later, I’m still waiting for the mysterious man to appear…oh, mysterious man…where art thou?
I found this treasure nestled behind the huge wall along Tridevi Marg in Thamel. For an entry fee of Nepali Rs. 80 per person, it’s the ideal place to chill…. and an equally cool place to impress a date…there were tons of couples everywhere! The cafe at the back serves all types of desserts…coconut cake was absolutely my favorite! Pair it with Cha (a local tea made with a mix of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, milk and water). Imagine relaxing in the garden cafe on a hot summer day with a cup of Cha…this place is my garden of dreams…what’s yours?
