PATAN DUBAR SQUARE (299 AD), NEPAL (Documentary)- City of Deities, Art, Culture & Ancient Temples

Patan Dubar Square is a UNESCO world heritage site situated in Lalitpur, Kathmandu valley, Nepal. The Patan city is famous among travelers from around the world over last few decades as city of deities, temples, art & culture. Smiling & hard working Newari people are native people of this city & also of Kathmandu valley, Nepal. The city is full of wooden to metal to stone sculpture arts, and you will certainly find one temple in ever nook and corner, I can bet with you, in every 50 meter of distance, you will find 2-3 temples. The people of Patan or I will say Kathmandu valley are Buddhist -Hindu in religion. They pray both Hindu gods & goddesses as well as Lord Gautam Buddha. In recent October I got an opportunity to travel this incredibly crafted old city of goddesses, full of beautiful pagoda styled wooden temples.

After Kirat Dynasty, Lichhavis Dynasty came into power then Malla dynasty then Shah Dynasty. The Gurkha took over this town in 1768 and added in Gorakha Kingdom. Nepal lost a lot of land in several poor treaty Sugauli Treaty is one major, at the time of Anglo-Nepal war all in the favor of British East India company, and all the treaty lands were given to present India, not returned to Nepal by British government. Historical monuments The city was initially designed in the shape of the Buddhist Dharma-Chakra (Wheel of Righteousness). The four thurs or mounds on the perimeter of Patan are ascribed around, one at each corner of its cardinal points, which are popularly known as Asoka Stupas. Legend has it that Emperor Asoka (the legendary King of India) visited with his daughter Charumati to Kathmandu in 250 BC and erected five Asoka Stupas, four in the surrounding and one at the middle of the Patan. The size and shape of these stupas seem to breathe their antiquity in a real sense. There are more than 1,200 Buddhist monuments of various shapes and sizes scattered in and around the city. The most important monument of the city is Patan Durbar Square, which has been listed by UNESCO as one of seven Monument Zones that make up the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Site. The seven monument zones were included in the World Heritage List in 1979 as one integrated site. The monument zones are declared as protected and preserved according to the Monuments Preservation Act of 1956.
