Durbar Square Photo

Photographer’s Note

Listed as one of the eight Cultural World Heritage site by UNESCO, Kathmandu Durbar Square is a cluster of ancient temples, palaces, courtyards and streets that date back to the 12th and 18th centuries. The square is known to be the social, religious and urban focal point of the Capital City.

The palace is decorated with elaborately-carved wooden windows and panels an. It houses the King Tribhuwan Memorial Museum and the Mahendra Museum.

Hi Figen,
This one brings me back good memories. I am surprised for seeing it with relatively few people around. You integrated people and buildings very well in the framing. The smiles of the couple on the FG make it nicer.
Regards, José.

I like your Nepali pictures, Figen. This presentation of Patan is an enjoyable shot.and gives a feel of the square very well ,with its nice colours and shades. I tend to avoid cutting people in half. I feel that showing just the truncated tops feels awkward.I see that you don't feel the same. here, it seems to work, your people, frozen in action, giving a sense of vitality to the scene. regards Kevin

Figen,
certainly a must go place for anyone that goes to Nepal and Kathmandu. I like the early sun on the roofs of the different temples as well as all the smiles in the bypassers giving the whole scene a moment of happiness, despite Nepal's difficult times.
