Bhaktapur Durbar Square


The historical town, Bhaktapur Durbar Square is an assortment of pagoda and shikhara-style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. This site is listed in UNESCO world heritage site on 1979.The square is part of a charming valley as it highlights the idols of ancient kings perched on top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in very place - struts, lintels, tympanums, gateways and windows - all seem to form a well orchestrated symphony. The main attractions of this site are Lion gate, The golden gate (Sun Dhoka),the palace of fifty five windows, the art gallery,The statue of King Bhuptindra Malla, Nyatapola temple, Pashupati temple, Vatsala temples and as well as other small architectures. The Golden gate is said to be the most beautiful and richly moulded specimen of its kind in the entire world. The door is a embellished with monsters and mythical creatures of marvellous intricacy. The Golden Gate was erected by King Ranjit Malla and is the entrance to the main courtyard of the Palace of fifty-five windows. This magnificent Fifty five –windows palace was built during the reign of King Yakshay Malla in AD 1427 and was subsequently remodeled by King Bhupatindra Malla in the seventeenth century. Among the brick walls with their gracious setting and sculptural design, is a balcony with fifty-five Windows, considered a unique masterpiece of woodcarving. Another Attraction is the most famous pagoda of Nepal, which was built in 1702 A.D by Bhupatendra Mala. This temple was dedicated to Siddhilaxmi, the tantric mother goddess of supreme power. Nyatapola in Newari means a five tiered symbolizing five basic elements - water, earth, fire, wind and sky. At Bhaktapur we can also visit Vatsla tample which is 17th century stone temple, dedicated to a mother goddess, is full of intricate works on stone. So this is a good place for those who want to observe the historic architectures, wood carving, stone carving skills.
