The Malla Kings and the Art of Kathmandu
Om avsnittet
After Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal, the valley’s Newar kings didn’t vanish—they adapted. This episode explores the late Malla period and the rise of the Rana regime, focusing on how art, architecture, and ritual became tools of political survival. We look at King Yaksha Malla’s Divya Upadesh, the intricate craftsmanship of the Patan Durbar Square, and how the Kumari tradition evolved from a royal privilege to a national symbol under Jang Bahadur Rana. Discover how the Newar community preserved its identity through temple construction, guild systems, and the subtle power of religious patronage in the shadow of foreign domination.
