Bhaktapur Durbar: History at every step

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a unique confluence of medieval Malla-era art, architecture, and culture, where remnants of history are found at every step. Entering through the Khauwa Gate, this area contains important structures such as the 55-Window Palace, the Golden Gate, the Pashupati Temple, the Krishna Temple, and the National Art Museum. According to Heritage Officer Rajju Hada, the site where Shree Padma Secondary School is currently located was previously the Basantapur Palace. According to tour guide Asim Shah, the main feature of this area is the presence of so many historical structures in such a small space. While the 55-Window Palace is an excellent example of Nepali woodcarving, the Golden Gate reflects the high standard of the sculpture of that time. The Shilu Mahadev Temple and the under-construction Thanthu Palace have also further highlighted the historical importance of this area. This area, for which an entry fee of 2,000 rupees has been set for foreign tourists, is not just a museum but a living heritage connected to the daily lives of the locals.
