In fact Kathmandu boasts one of the largest congregations of magnificent historical monuments and shrines ever built.Duly recognized as a world Heritage Site by UNESCO- this particular area best known as Kathmandu Durbar Square lies in the heart of this city. Locally also called as Hanuman Dhoka Palace Square-an ancient seat of the Nepalese Royalty.

Hanuman Dhoka Palace Complex consists of a huge Royal Square emposing a tremendous variety of temples dedicated to different Hindu gods and goddess. Most of the buildings we see here date from 15th to 18th century.

The entire Palace Complex here is named after a monkey god called Hanuman. One can see a huge stone statue of Hanuman painted all red right next to the main entrance ( the golden gate) of the palace. Hanuman here is regarded as a powerful protector of the entire Durbar Square.

During of the greatest destival Dashain, The temple gets opened once within a year, Jagannath temple- built in the 16th century, known for fascinating erotic figures carving I the wooden struts eaves, it indicates people towards worldly life, practical, science and technology.

 Mahadeva
During of Teej festival the Mahadeva gets worshiped by Nepalese devotees woman, They stay fasting one day for the Mahadeva, rest of the explain we will elaborate later.
