Re: [INDOLOGY] Snellgrove's map and iconography of astral deities in Kathmandu -- Chuṣyā Bahāl and Pinchẽ Bahāl

[Artur Karp]

Dear Bill,

According to www.latlong.net the geo coordinates of both the shrines are:
27.43' 2.0820'' N, 85.19'26.2560 E. Look at the map there.

Best,

Artur

PS. Thank you very much, once more, for your comments (and translation) re
the proportion 63::64 found in the Sphujidhvaja's Yavanajataka.
