Nepali script Found in the Wall of Great Wall of China

Nepali script Found in the Wall of Great Wall of China

There are destinations, passengers themselves are unaware of. This is the philosophical Martin Buber's explanation that the world of technology has gone farther. The tendency to imagine the opportunity to take a picture of the rotation is going to be overwhelmed by the tourists' being more knowledgeable than reading the book.

The desire to reach China's Greatwal, built from the Fifth to 16th centuries, is a human being. But most of the people who see there are only a long and high wall and try to take pictures as far as possible.

The Great wall listed in UNESCO Heritage in 1987, is a global cultural heritage, also China's most important complementary heritage. The total length of Greatwala is 21.19618 million metre. Greatwall has touched 15 provinces and autonomous territories in China. Happi, Patching, Thinchin, Vallo Shansi, Pallo Shansi, Kanu, Inner Mongolia, Hulungchang, Chilin, Lounge, Shanotong, Hanan, Penghui, Ningxia and Siching. But Chuuyangquan is the only place where Nepali is worthy of pride.

Standing at just 9 meters high, Buddha and sources are found in the walls of the entrance constructed by stairs. Birds, dragon, whale, kumar kishore, animal, dragon elephant are found on the wall. There is Tibeti Buddhist wisdom in Yuan Dynasty. The information is written in- The ancient Sanskrit, Tibeti, Phagpa, Yogur, Western (1038-1227) language of the dominant language and Buddha mantras are covered in Han language. The image of the King of heaven appears to be clear. The king of heaven has put Buddha's clothes on Buddha. There are also shapes of the snake, arts, brazra. The nature of the people of the outside of the Greatwall outside the woman wearing the han caste and around the globe.

It is located in southern Mohuda of Chengfing district of Yunyi Beijing, Chuuyangquan. Photographs and scripts enclosed in the unite show the spiritual lifestyle of the kings. Unity was the world's most ancient and largest tower. During the Yuan Dynasty, such a tower was made on the road so that the public can worship Buddha for the sake of welfare. Emperor Yunuscon was established in the year 1342 for 5 years.

The period from 1244 to 1306 was the era of artists of Arianco, Nepali artist. He also propagated Buddhism, Pagoda style, and Ranjan(Nepali) script throughout Tibet by China. If you have analyzed Tibeti Buddhism and Ranjana scriptures in Yunthai, the conclusion can be reached to the conclusion that such scripts are covered.

Ranjana(Nepali) Script on wall of Great wall of china

People in the respective place can count on the information 'Sanskrit script'. But that Sanskrit script is not sure. If you are researching, the thread formula in Sanskrit will be found anywhere in the walls of the Greatwal. After seeing Sanskrit language, Nepali is not only the Indians too proud to be proud of.

The Nepali(Ranjana) language, which is seen in Chuuyangqu's Yunishi, is a historical opportunity to celebrate Nepal alone. History can also add more dimensions to Nepal-China relations than this golden opportunity.

MUSTANG:A DREAM DESTINATION BEYOND THE HIMALAYAS

Mustang:A Dream Destination Beyond The Himalayas

Beyond the Himalayan range and drained by Kaligandaki river lies the unique world of scenic beauty and mixed Tibetan-Nepali cultured Mustang(Originally Monthang), is the eyecatching ,religious and dream destination for the tourists all round the world. Mustang lies beyond the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri extending upto the The Tibetan Plateau in the Gandaki Province of north western Nepal with variety of landscapes,culture ,caves and scenic beauty.

#Some facts of Mustang:
1.Mustang is divided into 2 parts:Lower Mustang amd Upper Mustang.Lower mustang is accessible any time which has Jomsom as its headquarter and Kagbeni a popular place.Whereas Upper Mustang is the isolated ancient Kingdom of Lo Manthang.

Lower Mustang

Upper Mustang

2. Mustang was a lost kingdom of Tibet and although it is now part of Nepal now, traditions and cultures remain purely Tibetan. From the 15th century to the 17th century, its strategic location granted Mustang control over the trade between the Himalayas and India. At the end of the 18th century the kingdom was annexed by Nepal. Most tourists travel by foot over largely the same trade route used in the 15th century.

3.Upper Mustang is still a restricted area.However, The Nepalese Department of Immigration requires foreign visitors to obtain a special permit and liaison (guide) to protect local tradition from outside influence as well as to protect their environment.

4. It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 caves throughout Mustang. These caves have either been dug into the Cliffside, or have been tunneled from above. These thousand years old caves are shrouded in mystery regarding who built them and why were they built. Hidden within the Himalayas 155ft from the ground, these man-made caves are one of the world’s greatest archaeological mysteries. Thousands of these holes are carved into the fragile cliffs in a gorge so large, it dwarfs the Grand Canyon.

5.Here flows the Kaligandaki river which separates the major peaks of Dhalulagiri (8,167 m or 26,795 ft) on the west and Dhaulagiri (8,091 m or 26,545 ft) on the east making the deepest Gorge of the World.

6.Saligrams, fossilized stoneS, are that are believed to be remnants from the Jurassic age of the pre-historic Mesozoic era. They are found only in Kali-Gandaki River in the world and prove to be quite elusive. The local people also tend to sell Saligrams to visitors. Saligrams are considered sacred and are often used in prayer rituals. It is believed to be the symbol for Lord Vishnu as per Hinduism.

7. Another attraction of Mustang region is the 3 days Tiji Festival influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. The Mustagi people have their own way of family life, which is quite surprising for many outsiders.

9. The shrines, in a grove of trees, include a Buddhist gompa, a Vishnu temple and the Jwalamai (Goddess of Fire) Temple, which shelters a spring and natural gas jets that provide Muktinath's famous eternal flame.
