The Malla Kings of Patan: A City Built on Art and Rivalry
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive deep into the golden age of Patan under the Malla kings, focusing on the reign of Siddhi Narasimha Malla and his son Yoga Narendra Malla. They explore how Patan became a rival to Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, not through war, but through art, architecture, and religious patronage. The episode covers the construction of the Krishna Mandir, the Sundari Chowk, and the Mul Chowk, as well as the intricate Newar craftsmanship that defined the city's identity. Listeners will learn about the strategic alliances and betrayals among the Malla kingdoms, the role of the Kumari (living goddess), and how Patan's legacy endured even after Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of the Kathmandu Valley.
