It is known as the "open-air museum" and "the essence and treasure house of medieval Nepalese art". In the 13th century, the Malla Kings established their capital here and built palaces, temples and other buildings. Before the 18th century, it was the political and economic center of Nepal. The scenic area is divided into three parts: the palace, the outer area of the palace, and the street area. It is a good place for viewing photography, humanities learning, worshiping Buddha, and shopping. Due to the 8.1-magnitude earthquake in Nepal on April 25, 2015, the ancient buildings were severely damaged, and many buildings are currently under repair.

She creates tragic scenes and horror scenes in front of several 4-7-year-old Sakya girls who have never shed blood or suffered from illness, have no birthmarks, and have neat teeth. The girl who is fearless and carefree will become the new living goddess and will be replaced after her menarche. Kumari means virgin in Hindi. The current incarnation of the living goddess is called Kumari...
