Sundari Chowk is a beautiful courtyard in Patan which is historical and at the same time aspirational for Nepal. It represents a part of our past when we were prosperous through a land linked economy, food surplus and control over the currency used in the trans-Himalayan trade. This past gives every Nepali the needed motivation to strive into the future with collective excellence as a core value. By purchasing this book, you are helping to sustain the history and architecture of Nepal through the Patan Museum’s effort to conserve and manage these beautiful courtyards.
