In the ground floor of Keshav Narayan Palace, there are eleven screen windows: some are big and some are small. There is a golden window in the first floor, and in the middle of the window. a little statue of God Narayan is carved. Around the main statue of God Narayan, there are some statues of other Gods and Goddesses. All these statues are shaded by a huge nine-hooded black cobra. Decorated by the statues of other Gods and Goddesses, there is a golden stempnum over the golden window. Down below the window. there is a statue of legendar, Garuda, and also there are statues of lions, elephant. tiger, snakes etc. On the top of the third floor, a statue of the God Shanischar is set to avoid the evil omen. At the different corners of this Palace, there is a beautiful work of wood carving.
There is a curvilinear temple of God Keshav Narayan at this Square. The temple is surrounded by several pillars. statues, stempnums doors and windows.
At the eastern side of the golden gate of the Keshav Narayan Palace there are some wooden pillars of artistic design. These pillars support the total weight of the roof. Along with the pillars, some beautiful struts have been used at different places. These struts also provide support to the total weight of the roof. The place under the roof is called the resting place where people perform religious rites and organise religious activities.
Behind these resting places, there is a historical water-spout called ‘Gouri Dhara’. Constructed in the Lichchavi period, this historical water-spout is still intact reminding the legendary tales of the early medieval history of Nepal. Standing as a living monument of the bygone days, this ancient water supply system reveals the scientific development and town planning of the ancient period. All these details are available in the historical inscriptions of 482 AD.
At the western side of this Palace Square there are some beautiful temples of pagoda, cylindrical and curvilinear style. All these temples are situated in one straight line. At the extreme north, there is a great temple of Lord Bhimsen which was constructed in the year 1680 AD. Similarly at the south, there is a great temple of Bishweshwor Mahadev constructed in the year 1627 AD. Most significant among all, there is a famous Krishna temple roofed by twenty one curvilinear terraces. On the walls of the temple there are some revealing pictures of Mahabharata and Ramayana. This Krishna temple is one of the important Nepalese temple in which there is the statue of a ten-headed God. Even this famous temple was constructed under the auspices of Siddhi Narsingh Malla.
Near the great Krishna temple. there are some more temples. At the southern side of this Krishna temple. there is a beautiful temple of Char Narayan which was constructed in 1652 AD. One more Narayan temple, constructed in the year 1652 AD, is situated at the back of this temple. The temple of God Narsingha, constructed in the year 1598 AD, is situated in the south. In front of this temple, there is a tall stone pillar standing in the east. Up above the head of the statue, there is a bird set on it. At the southern side of this stand, there is a statue of Shankar Narayan which was constructed in the year 1026 AD.
Another point of attraction in the Durbar area is a huge bell called Taleju Bell. The bell was brought and put in use in the year 1737 AD. At the southern corner of this historical bell, there is an octagonal temple of Lord Kxisna which is called Chyansin Dewat in the local Newari language. This temple of Lord Krishna was constructed in 1678 AD. Besides these great historical and prehistorical temples in the area, there are archaeological gardens, Bhandar Khal Pokhari etc.
All these temples, squares, struts and stempnums present the state of art and architecture during the early medieval period of Nepal. The intricate use of decorative art, minute wood carving and the construction of different components have elevated the level of the cultural heritage of Nepal to a classic grandeur.
