The Malla Kings of Bhaktapur: Nepal's City of Devotees
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Malla kingdom of Bhaktapur, the most devout and artistically rich of the three Kathmandu Valley city-states. They discuss King Bhupatindra Malla's monumental building projects, including the Nyatapola Temple and the Golden Gate, and the fierce rivalry with Patan and Kantipur that fueled a golden age of Newar art and architecture. The episode also covers Bhaktapur's unique religious landscape, with its deep ties to both Hinduism and Buddhism, and the kingdom's eventual fall to Prithvi Narayan Shah in 1769. Lucas explains how Bhaktapur's identity as a 'city of devotees' shaped its defensive strategies and its legacy as a living museum of medieval Nepal.
