Encompassing a former royal palace, a wealth of temples and many other monuments, Durbar Square is Kathmandus historic and spiritual centre. The square, after years of neglect, was renovated in 1972-75 in the Hanuman Dhoka Project, initiated after the ascension to the throne of King Birendra. 'Durbar', or correctly darbar, means royal palace or royal court, but the locals prefer to call the square Hanuman Dhoka, 'Hanumans Gate', after the narrow palace gate which is guarded by a crimson-red figure of the monkey god Hanuman. The figure was set up in 1862 to protect the gate from ill luck and enemies of all sortsor, as the Nepalese chronicles put it, from 'evil spirits, witches, and epidemics, such as smallpox'. Hanuman is worshipped mainly on account of his bravery and strength, and has often been adopted by Hindu soldiers as their patron deity. In times gone by, fortresses were guarded by images of Hanuman hewn into their walls, and the kings of Kathmandu and Bhaktapur displa

LAO - LE RYTHME DES EAUXAu Nord du Laos, enclavée dans les montagnes, la paisible cité de Luang Prabang prospère depuis des siècles au sein de la péninsule formée par la confluence du fleuve Mékong et de la rivière Nam Khan. Avant dêtre devancée par Vientiane, elle fut la capitale du puissant Royaume de Lane Xang (Royaume du Million dEléphants). Son architecture coloniale et ses majestueux temples lui valent dêtre inscrite au patrimoine mondiale de lUNESCO depuis 1995.La légende raconte que Bouddha y serait venu au cours de lun de ses voyages et quil a souri. Aujourdhui, la ville est un haut lieu bouddhique de lAsie du Sud-Est. Les jeunes y viennent des campagnes alentours pour faire une retraite monastique et ainsi recevoir une éducation gratuite.A loccasion de Pi Mai, la Fête de l'Eau, Luang Prabang se réveille. Correspondant au Nouvel An lao et bouddhique, on fête le retour de la saison des pluies et la renaissance de la nature. Durant les plusieurs jours de festivités,
