    The Town of Bhaktapur - A Study of Structural Changes over Time - Prof. Sudarshan Raj Tiwari Department of Architecture Introduction: Why a study of Bhaktapur ? The presence of non-Sanskrit speaking and possibly non-Vedic Kirats in the Kathmandu Valley since long before its Lichchhavi takeover around the first century AD is now generally recognized. However little or no physical remains of this period have been discerned from archaeological explorations. Kirat funerary mounds are strewn all over the valley. Few of them, like the 'thudos' of Patan have been meekly recognized by some authors including Mary Slusser. Many road side stone, quite a few 'Kuldevata' stones and some 'Kumaries' on mounds near rivers or just out of towns are possibly also Kirat funerary sites1. Existence of several non-Sanskrit place names, administrative office titles, river names in Lichchhavi inscription is generally cited as proof of developed state of the valley during the Kirat rule. Particularly as some settlements continued to go by their non-Lichchhavi name even after long period of Sanskritization, it would be logical to assume that socially closely knit original settlers and their settlements continued strongly in their original sites even after the change of ruling houses. This paper looks into the structure of the town of Bhaktapur, the first capital town of the Malla with an objective to establish its link to its structure in Kirat and Lichchhavi days. Bhaktapur should provide a possibility of discerning Kirat structure of town, since Lichchhavis do not seem to have materially intervened in the general area. It is also logical to assume that since the Mallas chose to make their capital in Bhaktapur, that their social costoms were close to the original settlers and possibly Malla modifications to the structure of Bhaktapur was sympathetic to the existing structure.

  • Sri Lalita Bhavani Devi Parabrahmamayi
    1 THE SHAKTIPITHAS AND TEMPLES WORLDWIDE ARE REVERBERATING WITH WORSHIP AND CELEBRATION OF SRI LALITA BHAVANI DEVI PARABRAHMAMAYI Parabrahman has 3 states: 1. Srshti (Creation) which is visible to the eye 2. The invisible shakti or divine energy that creates these mountains, flowers, and regulates the seasons, rainfalls and the rising and setting of the Sun, and controls the movement of all the stars and planets, galaxies and the milky way, which is not visible. That shakti or divine power that is not visible is called avyaktam or unmanifest. However, it is perceptible to the munis, rishis, yogis and for those who abound in the wealth of austerity. 3. The state in the middle of the above 2 states is called ‘vyakta-avyakta’, that is in the middle of manifest and unmanifest states. It is only perceived through the knowledge gained by austere practices. Sri Bhavani is the only one who gives that kind of knowledge. Sri Lalita Bhavani is also the same as Maha Tripura Sundari. Since we are in Kaliyuga, humanity is in a deep state of earthly corporeal existence called bhavam or worldly existence; life, the cycle of birth and death to which an unliberated human soul is tied down is in an unhealthy condition. What is the medicine that can relieve this condition? Sri Maha Jagan Mata Vratam is the medicine. There is a divine prayer in the Mantra Shastra. Shloka: “Om Sri Mata mama bhavani Devi Sri Shankaraardhanga shariirien Siva Lalite, Soubhagyam Kurume Devi. Shivashaktyai namostute. Dhana dhaanya pashu kshetram bhartre samrakshanam tathaa, Suputramcha Maha Devi Dehime Lalita Karunaalaye” 2 The name of Sri Lalita Devi is most auspicious and benedictory.
