TEMPLE IN NEPAL

Nepal is a country of cultural diversity. The historic center of Nepal is in the Kathmandu Valley.  Two of the world’s great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, mingle here in jumbled and busy towns. The old parts of the towns of the Kathmandu Valley are packed with extraordinary temples and shrines that reflect this complex system of religious beliefs. These ageing buildings and monuments are dedicated to a plethora of gods and goddesses. They are still used by the many people of the Kathmandu Valley towns who worship as part of their everyday lives. The finest buildings were constructed during a golden age of religious architecture that lasted for five hundred years after the Malla Kings came to power in the thirteenth century
