Indra Chowk Square is dedicated to the god of heaven and rain. Upstairs, the shrine dedicated to Akash Bhairav, another form of Shiva, blue in colour, is forbidden to non-Hindus. On the steps of another temple on the other side of the square, blankets, cotton carpets and shawls are spread out and hung. All around, most of the shops are run by Muslims, descendants of the Kashmiris who settled in the valley three centuries ago. In the background, a small bead market invites to make interlaced necklaces.

La place INDRA CHAWK est un carrefour tres chargé avec de multitudes de vélos, motos, passants. En son centre on découvre le magnifique temple AKASH BLAIRAV qui aurait été le palais du premier roi du NEPAL. A l'intérieur il y a une magnifique statue et la façade principale est ornée de splendides statues de cuivre d'animaux mythologiques. Sur la même place on trouve le temple de SHIVA en pierres noires
