durbar square kathmandu

Built between the 12th and the 18th centuries, this complex of palaces, courtyards and temples is the historic seat of royalty. It used to be the seat of ancient Malla kings of Kathmandu. The durbar Square, protected as a UNESCO World heritage site, epitomizes the religious and cultural life of the people. Other than a 17th - century stone inscription set into the wall of the palace with writings in 15 languages, interesting things to see here are: Taleju Temple (Built by King Mahendra Malla in 1549 A.D., Kal Bhairav, the god of Destruction Nautalle Darbar, Coronation Nasal Chowk, the Gaddi Baithak, the statue of king Pratap Malla, the big bell, big drum, the Jagannath Temple and three museums including the numismatic museum and the Tribhuvan Museum. Photography is prohibited inside the museums.

Hallo Geof!
Here at first the colours of the buildings are eye-catching - and the many many architectural and ornamental details! I like the these numerous people at ease - feeling unwatched and I like the note!
I wish you and yours a calm and contemplative Advent season!

Hello, Geof.

Another fabulous note but this time accompanied by a much busier and exciting picture. Great colours, details and textures.

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

Hello Geof,
The architecural details of the temples are incredible. I see more locals than tourists which to me is heartwarming. The composition is enhanced by sweet lighting. Greetings! Danilo

Hi Geof,
Very interesting architecture here and also very good colours. Itīs very obvious that you put a lot of effort to the frame, to colour-match it. Also a good capture of daily life in Kathmandu.
Regards
Gunnar
