Glimpses of Patan Durbar Square

Back to my monochromatic mania with glimpses of Patan Durbar Square of Kathmandu, one of the exquisite tourist attractions that carry interesting tales of history in each and every woody carvings and stones it got! No wonder Patan Durbar Square is also listed as a World Heritage Monument since 1979. Patan, the "City of Fine Arts" is the oldest city in the Kathmandu valley whose history dates back to 570 AD or even before that... hard to believe right? The exquisite artworks and architectural buildings scattered in and around the Patan Durbar Square are from the 16th century and onwards, i.e. during the reign of King Siddhi Narsingh Malla, the first independent Malla dynasty king of Patan. If you're not a Nepali you'll have to pay an entrance fee to get into the complex. Once you're there your camera is sure to run out of battery!
