A common sight at temples in Nepal are monkeys, a rule that also applies to the Pashupatinath temple complex. Some individual monkeys are found on the temple grounds themselves, sneaking around the bridge, or strolling around the opposite side of the Bagmati river looking for food. This monkey found a banana and is eating it on a platform at the bottom of the bridge, usually inaccessible to humans.
