One my way to Pulahari Monastery from Kopan, I got a bit lost. But I found this cool and very eerie shrine that local people have set up. It seems like every few blocks on the street you can find a small temple, and every large tree is smeared with sandlewood and vermillion powder from people worshiping the spirit in the tree. You can see in this pic a lot of rocks lined up with strewn flower petals and sandlewood and vermillion powders dabbed on, and one of the rocks has a goddess of some type carved into it. I don't know if you can see it, but the second rock to the right of her has what looks like a Ganesha self-arising from it.
