Sundari Chowk (Patan Durbar Square)


Sundari Chwok(Beautiful Courtyard)

After reaching Mul Chowk/Mul Courtyard in Patan DurbarSquare, there is another small door on the south part which leads to a most magnificent courtyard named Sundari Chowk/Beautiful Courtyard. The name itself describes the beauty of this courtyard. It is surrounded by three-storeyed building from all side with the best example of an ancient wooden architecture on its doors, windows and tympanums. On the center of this courtyard lies a waterspout known as Tusha Hiti. The stone engraved idols of various deity around the spout are much worth to see. On top of the spout there is a small stone temple believed as an architectural model of famous Krishna Mandir. Also, there is a huge stone in front of waterspout which is said to be the bed of King Siddhi Narsingh Malla where he use to meditate.
