She is notable as in those times, only traders and especially men were ones traveling Nepal-Tibet and back. She was fascinated by Khaasti, when she heard stories of Bhrikuti spread in Lhasa. Being a widow woman she had to ask permission from the king to visit Khaasti. 921: 845: 873: 643: 1736: 833: 131: 103: 705: 797: 861: 622: 809: 582: 909: 563: 159: 897: 747: 46: 776: 885: 574:
