Kathmandu Valley is a center of attraction among tourists across the globe, as the valley is rich in every aspect, from culture to history and art and architecture. Different dynasties ruled the valley in different time periods, and due to this, various cultures, traditions, and religion nurtured here.
The dynasty with faith in Lord Shiva built the temple of Shiva, whereas the followers of Vishnu carved his (Lord Vishnu) image in rock. Similarly, the living goddess was worshipped during the time of the Malla dynasty, which is still in practice. The followers of Buddha built Stupas. The temple of Pashupatinath, Changunarayan, Budanilakantha, Swoyambhunath and Bouddhanath are typical examples.
