Durbar Square

Sign post at Durbar Sqaure

Durbar Square holds the ancient palaces of the past Kings of Nepal. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can see spectacular architecture of very old temples and courtyards.

Nice door !
At Durbar Square you can find people selling things everywhere

This is Hanuman the Monkey God



This is Kumari Ghar, the court where the living girl goddess called Kumari Devi stays. Worshiping a chosen pre-pubescent girl is an ancient practice done till this date. She is worshiped on all religious occasions. We are trying to get a glimpse of her. But she didn't come out to her window that day.
