Thapathali Durbar, Palace complex in central Kathmandu, Nepal
Thapathali Durbar features multiple courtyards, gardens, and buildings that combine Mughal architectural elements with European design influences across 80 ropanis of land.
The palace construction started in the 1840s under Nain Singh Thapa's direction and later expanded during Jung Bahadur Rana's tenure as prime minister of Nepal.
The complex includes Kalmochan Temple, which displays a mixture of Nepali artistic elements and Mughal-Gothic architectural styles from the mid-19th century.
The Nepal Rastra Bank currently occupies the Singha Mahal section of the complex, while another portion houses an Ayurvedic hospital established in 1850.
The palace grounds contain outdoor cooking areas where local Newar community members prepare meals, while children play and laundry dries in the vicinity.
