By far the biggest building in the square is the old Royal Palace, and by far the most interesting story is about the Kumari Chowk, so we'll leave those for subsequent posts, and just add a few more photos of the dozens of temples and monuments filling the square. Nepal is mostly Hindu, though with a significant Buddhist minority. As Hindus, they worship an unbelievably complicated series of gods, which gives rise to an enormous number of religious buildings, each dedicated to a different god in the pantheon. And there are religious services, offerings and other ceremonies going on in most of the buildings all the time.
