The atmosphere around the Pashupatinath temple was uproarious, and loaded with bedlam and perplexity. Admirers were endeavoring to stand out enough to be noticed; others were pushing their way to the front; saffron-clad Westerners were attempting to enter the temple; monkeys were battling and adding to the general clamor; a body was being incinerated on the banks of the river Bagmati; washerwomen were at their work, while youngsters were showering. Conversely, the Baudhnath stupa was "a haven of quietness in the busy streets around". There was no crowd, which helped maintain the stillness and tranquility at the Buddhist shrine.
