🧘‍♂️ Monkeys at Swayambhunath – Kathmandu, Nepal This photo features a group of monkeys sitting together near Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple, in Kathmandu. The setting glows with warm sunset light, illuminating prayer flags and the golden dome of the stupa in the background. The monkeys appear relaxed and social—some grooming, others gazing calmly—creating a gentle harmony between the sacred atmosphere and urban wildlife. Elements of worship, history, and daily life all thread through this peaceful moment on the temple grounds.
