Description
_______ Before starting the trek to Laprak earlier this year, we visited Patan, also called Lalitpur, one of the three former capital cities of Nepal, a city founded in the third century BC, and part of the Unesco World Heritage sites. Though heavily damaged by the 2015 earthquake, the Patan Durbar Square, namely the historical city center is now being rebuilt or renovated, but some temples of invaluable historical value have survived the earthquake, like this 'Golden Temple', a three-storey golden Pagoda, actually not a temple but a Buddhist monastery where the monks still pray in the upper storeys, a monastery also known for feeding rats, but I didn't see any of them as I took this picture!
________ Patan is said to have produced the highest number of renowned artists and finest craftsmen ever recorded in the history of Nepali art, and I reckon that it must be true, looking at the numerous other temples, statues and artifacts visitors can see all round the Durbar Square.
_______Many thanks for your comments on my former photo from Nepal...Have a nice and reasonably sunny weekend! Zoom in for the details!

Très belle image, très dépaysante.
Une architecture magnifique. Je suis heureuse d'apprendre que ce lieu de culte ait survécu aux tremblements de terre : ça aurait été une perte inévaluable! Merci pour le partage de cette image et des informations sur ce peuple!
Ta photo est une magnifique évocation de la splendeur des matières et de la rigueur des formes de cet art religieux! Merci pour le partage de la vue et des informations, Jean-Luc!
Fabuleuse photo dont tu nous fait profiter généreusement, bravo
Magnifique photo, et merci pour votre passage chez moi et votre commentaire
A beautiful image and wonderful & fascinating information
Ce monastère bouddhiste, heureusement préservé, est magnifique ! Ta photo est superbe et ton commentaire intéressant, bravo, Jean-Luc !
Excellent.
Lots of very detailed construction on this place. Love your discription and capture. 5++
Superbe photo ! J'aime beaucoup l'architecture Népalaise mais je ne suis jamais allé là-bas et n'irais probablement jamais ! Merci pour le partage, Jean-Luc !
Exellent shot.
Looks like you travel a lot. Always interesting to see photos of these wonderful historical places.
Awesome image!
Beautiful and interesting capture !!
A very beautiful photo of this temple! Wonderfully captured for our enjoyment! Thanks for sharing your experiences! You are so well traveled, going places I can only dream of going to! All the more reason to appreciate your kindness in sharing! Bravo and many fine kudos and wishes for a happy weekend for you as well!
Nice share and a very good shot.
A beautiful photo. This is so interesting, thanks for sharing it!
I enjoy seeing such architecture and the doves must love it
Nice capture of this beautiful and interesting architecture--glad it withstood the earthquake...pigeons seem to like it too :)
Fantastic shot.
Quoi ? Qu'apprends-je ? Tu as raté les rats ? Mais cela ne t'a pas empêché de rapporter de magnifiques photos, dont celle-ci...ce Golden Temple a l'air d'être au goût des pigeons mais aussi des touristes, j'imagine (les deux n'appartenant pas à la même catégorie !) Malgré mon amour pour la montagne, je ne crois pas que j'irai un jour au Népal...trop loin, trop compliqué...je vise les voyages en avion qui étaient si simples et si agréables jadis et même naguère et aussi bien moins onéreux. Alors merci de nous faire voyager jusque là-bas.
Beautiful building, dear Jean-luc , Superb capture, Hugs galore, DiDi. xx
Such a magnificent capture! Breathtaking! Reminds me of Tiger Balm Gardens in Singapore!
