Kathmandu Durbar Square

The durbar was listed as a world heritage site in 1979. Kathmandu Durbar Square, or Basantapur Durbar or Hanuman Dhoka, is the heritage site that evokes memories of beautifully carved temples, palaces, and courts, one of which happened to be that of a royal palace. Kumari lives here, the living goddess worshipped as a god; she is also known to many of the visiting pilgrims. "The Museum of Temples,"
