Nagbahal

Nagbahal is located in the heart of the city of Lalitpur in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal.

[3] Along the south side of the courtyard there is a row of three chaityas, two of which are partly built in the Licchavi style.

[4] Another important feature of Nagbahal is a stone spout dating back to the ancient history of Nepal.

[6] Every five years the Newar Buddhist festival Samyak Mahadan is held for two days at Nagbahal.

All images of Dīpankara Buddha are assembled from in and around Patan and carried around on the square to receive offerings from devotees.

[7] Nagbahal, and especially the sculpture of Neel Thu, The Blue Horned Oxen, is the starting point of the Dipankha Yatra, a 66 kilometres (41 mi) long procession to over a hundred religious sites in the Kathmandu Valley.
