The most famous Square in Nepal

🌟 Bhaktapur Durbar Square - The Most Spacious ✨"Even if the whole of Nepal disappeared, as long as Bhaktapur is still there, it is worth crossing half the globe to see it" — British traveler Powell. 🌈Bhaktapur, officially known as Baktapur, means "City of Rice" in Nepali🎑. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, Bhaktapur was the most powerful of the three Malla kingdoms in the valley🔥. 🌿Its Durbar Square is the largest of the three, once densely packed with architecture, but sadly, many were destroyed in earthquakes. 🩵The Golden Gate at the entrance to the palace is exquisitely carved and is a masterpiece of Nepalese copper sculpture, with a Garuda at the top and a four-faced, ten-armed Taleju goddess below. 🌸To the left is the 55 Window Palace🏰, built with red bricks and black lacquered wooden windows, each carved with various gods and animals, which took 200 years to complete. 🌟 Kathmandu Durbar Square ✨This was the place where the kings of the city-state were crowned and declared their legitimate ruling status. The square is scattered with pagodas, temples, palace courtyards, gardens, and museums. 🌸The Kasthamandap Temple is the oldest building in the valley, said to have been built from a single huge tree🌳, earning it the name "Wooden Pagoda." The name Kathmandu is derived from this temple. 🩵The Hanuman Dhoka Palace gets its name from the powerful and benevolent monkey god Hanuman🐒. At the gate, there is a stone statue of the god monkey dressed in a red cloak and holding an umbrella over its head; it is one of the largest and most artistically rich historical sites in Nepal. #Nepal #Kathmandu #PatanDurbarSquare #Bhaktapur #CustomTravel #OffTheBeatenPath#Hanuman Dhoka#Kathmandu# Kasthamandap Temple#Lalitpur#Bhaktapur Durbar Square
