There is something beautifully peaceful watching pigeons gather around grains in a temple premise.
This bird was snapped in the holy Maulakalika temple last week. Pigeons are symbols of peace and most of the temples in Nepal have a separate block for the pigeons. Pilgrims often take handful of grains to feed these beautiful birds.
