Nyetamaru Ajima - Durbar Square Kathmandu

This week I was lucky. Somehow I ended up at Durbar Square in Kathmandu and ran into a rare performance of the sacred Nyetamaru Ajima masked dance. It was hidden in one of the courtyard of the buildings dated back up to the 13th century. Most dances are only held annually while certain dances like this one are only performed once every 12 years. Wow...next time the dance will be on I will be 50 years old - unthinkable.
