Bhaktapur-The Living Museum of Nepal. Historically, Bhaktapur, along with Kathmandu and Patan, was one of the three major kingdoms in the Kathmandu Valley. During the years when the Malla dynasty ruled the valley, Bhaktapur became an important centre of politics and culture. As fervent supporters of the arts and culture, the Malla monarchs elevated Bhaktapur to a level of architectural magnificence unmatched. In addition to using palaces, temples, and courtyards as testaments of the era's workmanship, they also used them as emblems of their devotion. Because of this, the architecture and layout of the city are more than just bricks and wood; they are records of an era in which devotion and governance were entwined with artistic expression.
However, the people of Bhaktapur and their persistent adherence to tradition are what really solidify the city's relevance in Nepalese culture. Despite the onslaught of modernism, Bhaktapur's native Newar population has managed to hold onto their distinct identity. Their extravagant and passionate celebrations of festivals provide a glimpse into their ingrained customs and beliefs. The lively Pottery Square is alive with the rhythmic movements of potters creating clay in the same way as their ancestors did centuries ago, while the elaborate carvings of the Nyatapola Temple narrate stories of gods and monsters.
