Tachupal Square Review

Badganda is the ancient capital of Nepal from the 13th to 18th centuries, and Tachupa Square is the earliest square in Badganda, a famous local landmark. Stayed in Badgang for one night, I was fortunate to see the beauty of its day and night, and also witnessed the crowds of people in the square during the day, the piety and faith of good men and women! In addition, the well-known peacock window is very close to the square, just in the alley next to it, just a few minutes walk, many shops in the alley are also very distinctive, it is worth seeing ...

In front of the Golden Gate of the Badgham Palace is the Old Town Square on Tachupa Street (Tachupal Tole). It is probably the earliest central square in Baktapur. Before the 16th century, the Palace of Baktapur was located here, so it is probably the oldest part of the whole Badgham. The most prominent building in Tachupa Square is the square temple of Datatlaya (Dattatreya Tample), which was first built in 1427, but there is also a view that it was built in 1458. It is said to be built from a whole tree trunk. The temple is a three-story building with a golden-top loft raised forward on the second floor. Similar to other Hindu temples, there are stone statues of the korgol in front of the temple. This is the birthplace of Baktapur, and before the construction of Duba Square, it was the center of the city, the square is much smaller than Duba Square and Taumadi Square. The Pukhari Sangha House on Tachupa Street, originally the residence of the monks, is now a wood carving museum, where you can enjoy the most exquisite wood carving craftsmanship in Baktarpur. The peacock window on the left side of the house is a representative work.

Tatjuya or Tatchupa Square is the old city center of Bhaktapur, Nepal's third largest city, and is also the birthplace of Bhaktapur, one of the four major squares of Bad Gangduba Square. The Temple of Datatlaya in the square (Dattatraya Temple) is the only temple in Nepal dedicated to the Trinity God Datatlaya, the three main Hindu gods who created the Great Brahma, protected the god Vishnu and destroyed the god Shiva. The temple has a long history, and it was built in 1427 by the then king Akhia Mara (King Yakshya Malla). It is said that the entire temple was built by a giant tree. The eagle at the top of the pillar in front of the temple is Galouro or Gruda (Garuda Statue) and the traditional law of Vishnu Fabei snails and discs. Behind it is a monastery, where the windows are beautifully carved, especially the famous peacock windows.

In the ancient city of Badgang, a more quiet and life-like square, if you have enough time, you can sit down and chat with the local residents to fully enjoy the leisure time in the afternoon.

This is the oldest central square in Badgang, not very large, with a unique temple in Nepal - the temple of Dataria. It is also a square that can feed white grids.
