The stone statue standing majestically at the entrance of the Dattatraya Temple, sporting a distinctive beard
In Tachupal Square in the old city of Bhaktapur stood a Hindu temple called Dattatraya. At the entrance sits a large stone statue with a sword in his hand. What would be like the statue of Vajrayana in the front gate of a Japanese temple. By glaring at it, it must have prevented the evil one from entering the temple.
When I see such a statue, it is so deformed that I feel that there are some evil things that give up trying to enter the temple, but if I look at it carefully, I can see that it has a charming face. The curve of the mustache and the circular eyes were both lovely.
