Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the heart of Nepal’s capital, is is also home to numerous temples dedicated to Hindu deities, such as the towering Taleju Temple, accessible only to royalty during its prime, and the Kasthamandap, a three-story wooden pavilion believed to have been built from a single tree, which gave Kathmandu its name. The Kumari Ghar, a lavishly carved wooden mansion, houses the Kumari, a young girl revered as the living embodiment of the Hindu goddess Durga. This blend of sacred and regal structures creates a spiritual ambiance, especially during festivals like Indra Jatra and Dashain, when the square comes alive with processions, dances, and rituals.
