Nepal Patan Palace Courtyard Fountain

Nepal Patan Palace Courtyard Fountain

A historic fountain located in the center of the Patan Palace courtyard in Nepal. It is believed to have been commissioned by King Siddhi Narasimha Malla of Patan in 1628. Not only is it a beautiful building, but its design and decoration reflect the society's emphasis and worship of water at that time. The courtyard was damaged in earthquakes in 1934 and 2015, but fortunately, the fountain itself was almost undamaged as the upper floors collapsed outward. Subsequently, through the efforts of the Kathmandu Valley Conservation Trust, the fountain and courtyard were fully restored.
