| Durbar Square with the Palace of the 55
windows built in 1754, The Golden Gate and King Bhupatindra Mella
sitting on his pillar.
There are three
Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley each being the capital of a rival
King. They strove to outdo each other in the field of architecture
and art. This Durbar Square is very spacious, having lost many buildings
in an earthquake in the 1930's
Below a woman
makes an offering at the Golden Gate entrance to the palace.
And a
man enjoys a smoke break from his vantage place..
