The Land of the Gods | Patan Durbar Square, Kathmandu

[Between Dust and Gods: The Land of the Gods] Today, I finally understood the meaning of this phrase: "There are more gods than people, and more temples than houses." As one of the three kingdoms of the Malla Dynasty during the peak of the Kathmandu Valley, Patan is filled with temples of all sizes and styles, from exquisite to simple, in every street and alley. The density is beyond imagination, and you can find many exquisite and interesting patterns. The essence of Patan is undoubtedly the Durbar Square, with the palace on the east side and various temples on the west side. The intricately carved wooden windows and doors, and the various expressions of the Hindu gods are fascinating. Finally, you can find a high place to sit, have a cup of coffee, and look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. At this time, the Patan Palace is already bathed in warm sunlight.
