PLACES TO SEE IN THIS TOUR

BHAKTAPUR DURBAR SQUARE

CHANGUNARAYAN TEMPLE

Bhaktapur durbar square:

Bhaktapur located about 20 km east of Kathmandu in the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur is known as the 'City of Devotees', the 'City of Culture', the 'Living Heritage', and 'Nepal's Cultural Gem'. It is one of the 3 royal cities in the Kathmandu Valley. The others are Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and Patan. Bhaktapur Durbar Square is an assortment of pagoda and shikhara-style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and wood. The square is part of a charming valley as it highlights the idols of ancient kings perched on top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in very place - struts, lintels, tympanums, gateways, and windows - all seem to form a well-orchestrated symphony.

Changunarayan temple:

Narayan, or Vishnu, is the preserver of the creation of Hinduism. His temple near Changu Village, or Doladri in Sanskrit, is often described as the most ancient temple in the Kathmandu Valley. A legend says that once Vishnu in his act of destroying evil killed a Brahmin priest who had turned to evil. Such an act was considered one of the five most heinous crimes. Vishnu contemplated his deed and wandered here and there on Garuda, the mythical half-man, half-bird form. When he reached Changu, a hermit by the name of Sudarsana, not recognizing Lord Vishnu, beheaded him. Once beheaded, Vishnu felt regretful of his sin. He said that from then onwards he would live on the hill at Changu, where he was redeemed for his sin, and that everyone who comes to worship him at Changu on the day of the full moon or on Wednesdays would also be exonerated. The nitya puja, ritual worshipping, at Changu Narayan, relates to this legend. The Vishnu image here is built of two parts, one of the head and the other of the body so that the beheading rite of Vishnu can be remembered during the puja.

The temple now covers at least seventeen hundred years of Nepalese art history. The temple, built around the third century, is decorated by some of the best samples of stone, wood, and metal craft in the Valley. In the words of one tourist guide, "When you look upon Changu Narayan, you observe the complete cultural development of the Valley."

On the struts of the two-tiered Changu Narayan Temple are the ten incarnations in which Narayan destroyed evildoers. A sixth-century stone statue shows the cosmic form of Vishnu, while another statue recalls his incarnation as a dwarf when he crushed King Bali. A statue of Vishnu disemboweling Narsingha, a man-lion, is particularly interesting. The Eastern doors are made of bronze, dragons decorate the bells, and devas and griffins look out from the walls and steps. A life-sized statue of Garuda kneels before the temple. The favorite sight of many visitors is the statue of Vishnu sitting astride his steed.
