Temples are dominant in the ensemble of Kathmandu Valley?s traditional architecture. The image and visual appeal of the architecture of the Nepal Valley (as Kathmandu Valley used to be known in the past) and the skyline it composed are registered most by the multi-roofed temples. A significant number of the temples follow Vastushastra, the classical Hindu ritual design principles as handed down from the ancient times through oral tradition. But a philosophically and ritually different group of temples, the Dyochhen also line the streets of the Valley, literally merging with the style of the streetside residential architecture. This book presents, for the first time, a thoroughly researched account of the origins, development and detailing of temples of Nepal from ancient Kirat period to the times of the Shah showing how and why the Nepali temple came to be so different from Nagara and Dravida style popular in India and formed the Varata style and design mentioned in Vastushastra.Temples of the Nepal Valley – Sudarshan Raj Tiwari
