Images of the Water spout from
Doleshwor Mahadev in
Bhaktapur. At a time when modern city water supply often fails to provide water to the residents of this valley, these water taps have essentially been running for hundreds of years. The need to maintain and preserve these ancient water supply systems cannot be stressed more. The picture quality isn't great, took them from my phone. So bear with me.
Update on Nov. 2016 - I didn't post the picture of the main temple at Doleshwor but this temple was severely damaged by the twin quakes of 2015. I believe it is under going reconstruction and a Masterplan for the redevelopment of the Temple Complex was developed by a group from the Khowpa Engineering College. Perhaps in due time, this will truly develop into a beautiful religious place of pilgrimage that it should given its status as equal to Kedarnath Temple at Uttarakhand, India.
