Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Bhaktapur, a city in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. It is one of the three Durbar Squares in the valley, the other two being Kathmandu Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square.

History: The square dates back to the 12th century and was the royal palace of the Bhaktapur Kingdom until the 18th century. It was a center of political, cultural, and religious activities during the Malla Dynasty. The square was severely damaged during the 2015 earthquake but has since been restored to its former glory.

Culture: Bhaktapur Durbar Square is a prominent example of Newari architecture and art. The square is home to numerous temples, palaces, courtyards, and monuments that showcase the unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist religious traditions. The square is also known for its traditional Newari festivals, such as Bisket Jatra, which is celebrated in April.

People: The people of Bhaktapur are predominantly Newars, an indigenous ethnic group of Nepal known for their distinct culture and traditions. The Newars are renowned for their craftsmanship and have contributed significantly to the art and architecture of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

Location: Bhaktapur Durbar Square is located in the center of Bhaktapur city, which is about 13 kilometers east of Kathmandu. It can be accessed by public transportation or by hiring a private vehicle.

Legend: According to legend, the Bhaktapur Kingdom was founded by King Ananda Malla, who was in search of a suitable place to establish his kingdom. He saw a rabbit chasing a tiger, and he interpreted it as a sign of bravery and decided to establish his kingdom in that location. The site where the rabbit chased the tiger is said to be the location of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
