Changunarayan
:
The Changunarayan temple is protected as a UNESCO
world Heritage site. The temple is the most ancient
temple of Kathmandu valley. The temple which was
built in the third century is decorated by some
of the best samples of stones, wood and metal
crafts in the valley. A fifth century stone inscription,
the oldest to be discovered in Nepal, is located
in the temple compound and it tells of the victorious
King Mandev.
Datta-Traya Square:
Further to the north-east of Toumadhi Square is
another interesting locality called Datta-Traya
Square. In fact this is the second important urban
spot of Bhadgaun. The Datta-Traya Temple was also
built by late King Vupatindra Malla in the 17th
century is a famous pagoda carrying an amusing
history. This is a wooden temple facing west;
it is believed that the timber used for its relevant
construction was sawed out of a single tree. So
you can imagine how big the tree must have been.
The three-storied temple is dedicated to the three-headed
Deity of the orthodox Hindus. It symbolizes the
divine triad, a mere combination of Brahma (the
Creator), Bishnu (the Preserver) and Maheshwor
(the Destroyer). The square as a whole can be
regarded as a marvelous gallery of intricate wood
carvings. One can smell environments of medieval
period around the square. In the periphery of
the temple, you can also see monasteries, Vimsen
Temple and a platform. There are a couple of handicraft
quarters around where watching the skills of the
carvers is a sheer joy. The Pujari-Math Temple
has the renowned Peacock Window in the lane side
facing the cardinal direction of east. It is a
pure wooden structure, a master-piece indeed.
Apart from these, there exist two special museums-the
Metal Craft Museum and the Wood Craft Museum.
