| Description |
English: Across from the Krishna Temple are a host of smaller temples and other structures, all standing on a slightly raised platform in front of the Hanuman Dhoka and the towering Taleju Temple behind. The square stone pillar, known as the Pratap Dhvaja, is topped by a statue of the famous King Pratap Malla (1641–74), seated with folded hands and surrounded by his two wives and his five (including an infant) sons. He looks towards his private prayer room on the 3rd floor of the Degutaleju Temple.
The column was erected in 1670 by Pratap Malla and preceded the similar columns in Patan and Bhaktapur. This area and its monuments are usually covered in hundreds if not thousands of pigeons; you can buy packets of grain to feed them [lonelyplanet.com] |
