EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1877, showcases the intricate beauty of the Temple in Bhaktapur, Nepal, which was then known as Bhatgaon. The temple, a masterpiece of ancient Newar architecture, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Nepal. The image reveals the temple's ornate facade, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The red brick and wood structure, with its multi-tiered roofs and elaborate wooden balconies, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. The temple complex is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and vines creeping up the temple walls, adding to its enchanting allure. The temple was built during the reign of the Malla kings, a powerful dynasty that ruled over the Kathmandu Valley from the 12th to the 18th century. The Malla kings were renowned patrons of art and architecture, and this temple is a shining example of their artistic vision and craftsmanship. Bhaktapur, located approximately 13 kilometers east of Kathmandu, was once the largest city in the Kathmandu Valley. It is renowned for its medieval art and architecture, and is home to numerous temples, palaces, and monasteries. The city's rich cultural heritage has earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This photograph, taken over a century ago, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and culture of Bhaktapur and Nepal. It is a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of this ancient temple, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
