goddess Durga. Nearby the former Royal Palace is a Mall Dynasty dwelling, once considerably more
extensive than today. Within, the courtyard Nassal Chowk, originally hosted dramatic dance
performances, now it is the coronation site of the Shah kings and contains some of the finest wood
carvings you will see anywhere in the kingdom. The 14th century Jagannath Mandir is the oldest temple in
the area, its steps carved with inscriptions in many languages, nearby Taleju Mandir is one of the largest
and finest temples in the Valley.

center stage at a religious festival in Nepal.A Kumari, meaning virgin in Nepalese, is a young prepubescent
girl, considered by devotees to be incarnations of the Hindu goddess of power, Kali.
Swayambhunath: The most ancient and enigmatic of the Valley’s holy shrines the golden-spired stupa of
Swayambhunath tops a wooded hillock. Records of its history date as far as the 5th century, but its origins
