Nepal's Malla Golden Age: Art and Power in the Kathmandu Valley
Before the Gorkha conquest, the Kathmandu Valley was home to the Malla kingdoms—rich city-states that competed not just in war but in art, architecture, and devotion. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the cultural flowering of the Malla period, focusing on the rivalry between Bhaktapur, Patan, and Kathmandu. They discuss the patronage that produced stunning palaces, squares, and temples, the role of Newar artisans, and the political intrigues that shaped this vibrant era. From King Yaksha Malla's division of the valley to the building of the Nyatapola Temple, discover how the Mallas left a legacy that still defines Nepal's artistic identity.
