Nepal - Land of Heaven: Taumadhi Square

Taumadhi Square - The Nyataponla Temple

We reached by a narrow brick-paved lane Taumadhi Square - The Nyataponla Temple presides over the Taumadhi Square. Dating back to 1702 AD, the colossal five-storied edifice is the country’s tallest pagoda temple.

The struts, doors, windows and tympanums—each embellished with attractively carved divine figures—perfectly portray the creative tradition of Newar craftsmen.

The temple is dedicated to Goddess Siddhi Laxmi, the manifestation of female force and creativity.

Next to the Nyataponla Temple is the rectangular shaped Bhairavnath Temple. It houses a gilded bust of Bhairav, the ferocious manifestation of Lord Shiva.
 The three-storied pagoda was razed to the grounds by the 1934-earthquake, and its latest renovation was undertaken by Bhaktapur Municipality in 1995 AD.

The enclosed complex facing the Nyataponla Temple is dedicated to Tilmadhav Narayan, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, who is one of the Supreme Triumvirate of Hindu pantheon.
A few steps ahead it, to the southwest, lies the famous Pottery Square, where visitors can see the city’s well-known potters making variously shaped and sized earthenware.

The major monumental highlight of this square is a temple of Jeth Ganesh, which dates back to the 14th century.

Temples in Taumadi Square: Nyatapola Temple, Bhairav Temple, Teel Mahadev, Narayan Temple and many more.

Nyatapola Temple is the tallest temple in the country guarded by a series of mythical animals and deities overlooking the Bhairav temple dedicated to the tantric deity of bhairav. 

Exalted by the divine presence through out made my way to the hotel after a very long day and was looking forward to my next most awaited and exciting destination which is Pashupathinath Temple... So Stay Tuned!!!
