Changu Narayan Temple - Bhaktapur Episode 1 - Mahakali Dance Newari Culture - Nepal oldest Temple

Changu Narayan Temple is one of the oldest temple of Nepal and this temple is listed as world heritage site. The ancient Hindu  temple of Changu Narayan is located on a high hilltop that is also known as Changu or Dolagiri. The temple was surrounded by champak tree forest and a small village known as Changu. The temple is located in Changunarayan  Municipality of Bhaktapur District, Bagmati zone, Nepal. This hill is about 7 miles or 12  km east of Kathmandu and a few miles north of Bhaktapur. The Manohara River flows beside the hill. This shrine is dedicated to lord Vishnu  and held in special reverence by the Hindu  people. This temple is considered to be the oldest temple in the history of Nepal. The Kashmiri king gave his daughter, Champak, in marriage to the prince of Bhaktapur. Changu Narayan Temple is named after her. Changu Narayan is considered to be the oldest temple of Nepal. It remains a milestone in Nepali temple architecture with rich embossed works. The two-storey roofed temple stands on a high plinth of stone.  It has an architectural style which he would like to describe as a traditional Nepali temple. The temple is surrounded by sculptures and arts related to Lord Vishnu. Also, we can find the temples of Lord Shiva, Ashta Matrika, Chhinnamasta, Kileshwor and Krishna inside the courtyard of the main temple. There are four entrances to the temple and these gates are guarded by life-size pairs of animals such as lions, sarabhas, griffins and elephants on each side of the entrances. In this video I also witnessed to see a Newari Culture in the form of Mahakali dance. I really enjoy this visit and highly recommended to you all when u plan to visit Kathmandu valley.
