MOST UNDERRATED CITY IN ASIA THAT NEARLY FELL DOWN!

Bhaktapur is one of the most incredible cities I’ve come across in Asia. It’s situated in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal.
Bhaktapur was once a Newari city kingdom which is why it’s so full of traditional Newar art, architecture, food and culture.
Walking through the city of Bhaktapur makes me feel like I’m travelling in time to an era in the distant past. It’s got the most beautiful wood carvings I’ve ever seen as well as some unique and very influential architecture.
Unfortunately it was affected by the 2015 earthquake which destroyed many buildings. I explore the beauty and tragedy in this wonderful city of Nepal.

The one you called dragon isn't a dragon but its a mythical creature called Hitimanga - the one with body and face of crocodile, eyes of deer, trunk of elephant, ears of boar and horns of sheep. Hiti manga mostly represents the water related creatures. These kind of stone water spouts were built around the town for disrtibuting water in the old times. For this, different water canals were dug and brought into a big pond like reservoir which basically can be found out on outskirt of ancient town. And then the water were supplied through underground channel system where water flowed through various channels and get filtered. The excessive water flowed out of other channel and these channels were connected. Most of these channels are broke in the present day, so most of these water spout are dry but they serve naturally when it's monsoon.

Thank you for that information. Just love the artistic talent in Nepal. I wonder, do Nepalese work in the art sectors around the world? I have seen that in certain groups in India who were know to be skilled artesians through history, now work in the creative field. They make great chefs, architects, graphic design or even in dance and music! It is like their genes carried that creative DNA in successive generations.

The Newari cities can indeed be dubbed some of the most underrated cities in Asia. Everything there makes you feel like you've stepped into an ancient portal. Those hitis or ancient water systems are pretty awe-inspiring. They serve quite well to give us glimpses of how our ancestors may have lived. And the details on almost every piece of architecture whether the water taps or temple posts always blow me away, they're just so incredibly intricate and I could stare at them for hours. These cities have faced a lot of pressure from unplanned urbanization from recent governments and it's quite sad really. If preserved well they can be a boon to human history.

The reason why it's lower is they used to be fed by natural water streams that flows under the soil. But with the construction of houses around, all of those natural stream has dried up and most of running stone taps are now fed with pipes.

Who is complete God? The Holy Bible gives the answer to this question. Let's find out. Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God. Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok.

As you have seen, there are plenty of wells and open taps and that's why it is imp. to make roads of bricks. If we plaster all the roads then rainwater wont get inside the soil to recharge the wells and taps so if we pave our roads with bricks, water will drip through it and it recharges the natural underground water sources.

Nice fact about the pagoda temples. Newar history is quite far reaching the more I learn about it. I remember reading that back then Chinese commissioners were sent to visit Nepal, I think around 8th or 7th century, and were impressed by pagoda temples in Newar kingdoms. At that time there weren't any such architecture in China. This started the exchange on pagoda designs with China.

Bricks helped to absorbed the water during rainfall and they helped to recharge our water resources. This knowledge is I get from our kathmandu mayor @Balen sir. Thank you sir providing me such a great information so that I can share this information to other as well.

8:30 those stone taps are called "Hiti" in newari language and "dhunge dhara" in Nepali. They do not have any mechanical parts. Its totally based on ground water. Interestingly, it is one of the oldest and still in use water supply system in asia. It may look simple but it has very complex system under ground which supplies water without the help of any external force. But unfortunately due to unplanned urbanization and over consumption of ground water, these hitis don't work nowdays. But on a positive side, community and city authority are experimenting with refilling the ground water artificially rather than letting nature do it which would take decades. Water is the backbone of newa civilization after all its the primary source for food security. Hitis are considered equally important as temples.

Bhaktapur Municipality gives 35% of the cost for artistic wooden doors and windows. But the wood and the cost of such work is getting higher and higher that people with less money but who needs home are building houses with aluminium windows. So far the City has preserved its originality pretty well, but the municipality must have to do more. The streets in Bhaktapur are paved with bricks. This helps the earth soak water when it rains. This keeps the wells in the city with water. This also saves streets from sink holes. However, the brick street does require frequent maintenance.

@NewZman23 2 жыл бұрын

however, the ongoing maintenance gives desperately needed work to the people - so actually it's a win-win situation. .Slight problem is the pollution caused by brick kilns in the Ktm valley. If the kilns could be powered by electricity made from hydro and/or solar, this would be even better. Another project for Balen ji :-)
