55- window palace

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage site located about 20 km east of the Kathmandu. Bhaktapur is also known as a “City of Devotees” and “ Nepal’s Cultural Gem”. Bhaktapur is filled with palaces and temples with elaborate carvings, gilded roofs, carved wooden columns and open courtyards. The Bhaktapur Durbar square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhar-style temples grouped around a fifty-five window palace. The city has numerous artistically crafted Hindu and Buddhist shrines.
This square reflects the lavishness of Newar cultural and how grounded Nepali people are. The pottery, the lifestyle, traditional attire of local people, the festivals proudly celebrated here, handicrafts and many more makes tourist visit time and again.

It really is a good place with all the positive and religious vibes and hangout with friends which makes us to forget the traffic, modern houses, dense population of Kathmandu where I actually belong. And Juju dhau, the king of curd, going Bhaktapur and not tasting curd how is that possible. The Newar food you get there is mouth watering.
I have got few pictures showing the heritage and me posing off course, how can I dissatisfy you guys. hahahahaha... Well I didn't want to miss the opportunity to capture the beauty which will make my pictures beautiful, no doubt.
