Mazu Dewal


Mazu Dewal




This view of Durbar Square was taken from the platform of the Shiva-Parvati temple on the northern side - its guardian lions can be seen to the right of the picture. The other pagoda temple visible to the left of the Maju Deval is the Trailokya Mohan Naryan Temple (1680). Naryan is a form of Vishnu - not in the sense one of his avatars or incarnations but simply the image of him as a sleeping figure in the churning cosmic ocean.
