Day 11 : Nagarkot / Kathmandu Enroute Visit Changu Narayan Temple

After breakfast, drive back to Kathmandu enroute visit Changu narayan Temple. Also
visit patan city in the second half.

Changu Narayan
Narayan, or Vishnu, is the preserver of creation
to Hindus. His temple near Changu village is
often described as the most ancient temple in the
Kathmandu 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. The temple now
covers sixteen hundred years of Nepalese art
history. The temple, built around the third
century, is decorated by some of the best
samples of stone, wood, and metal craft in the Valley. In the words of one tourist guide,
"When you look upon Changu Narayan, you observe the complete cultural development
of the Valley."

On the struts of the two-tiered Changu Narayan Temple, are the ten incarnations in
which Narayan destroyed evil-doers. A sixth-century stone statue shows the cosmic
form of Vishnu, while another statue recalls his dwarf incarnation when he crushed the
evil king Bali. Vishnu as Narasingha disemboweling a demon is particularly stunning.
The western bronze doors sparkle in the evening sunlight, dragons decorate the bells,
and handsome devas stare from the walls. Garuda, half man and half bird, is the steed
of Vishnu, and his life-sized statue kneels before the temple. The favorite of many
tourists is the statue of Vishnu sitting astride his steed.


                            Patan City:
                            Patan Durbar Square: Patan Durbar Square is an

                            courtyards and graceful pagoda temples. Listed as a
                            World Heritage Site, the former Royal Palace complex is
                            the center of Patan's religious and social life, and houses a

                            religious monuments. One remarkable monument here is


                                                                                 Page 50
