| Video Discription | Kirtipur is known as the city of fierceness. The history of Kirtipur dates back to 1099 AD when it was a part of Lalitpur. Kirtipur was rich in culture, trade, industry, and agriculture and this attracted the great King Prithvi Narayan Shah. Kirtipur, an ancient Newar town, is a little hill town with paved streets lined by typical red-brick houses and tiled roofs, as well as temple squares. The Bagh Bhairab temple is located near the center of the peanut-shaped hill that defines Kirtipur and forms the beating heart of the district's religious community. It is the only temple in the Kathmandu valley dedicated to the "Tiger" form of Bhairav, which is manifested in the form of a small clay tiger that is remade every 15-25 years as the old image grows fragile. Although the site is most notable for its massive three-story temple tower (rectangular, like all Bhairav temples), its grounds house numerous smaller shrines housing various images, some dating back to as early as the 3rd-4th centuries. The age of the temple is not known with any certainty. According to Shrestha, the site's oldest inscription dates to 1503 and is found on the Mana Binayak shrine in the temple's front courtyard. Hutt notes that the main building was clearly present in something like its current form as early as 1515, as records indicate a restoration in that period. He also notes that the temple's founding may extend back to the reign of King Shivadeva III (1099-1126), the founder of Kirtipur, but this remains to be supported by archaeological evidence (the single reference to this date is from a local chronicle). The Uma Maheshwar temple stands on the northwest side of the roughly peanut-shaped hillock that defines Kirtipur. It is an elegant three-story structure commanding fine views of the Kathmandu Valley and the surrounding mountains. The temple's name derives from the stone icon at its center, depicting Shiva and his wife Parvati in the Uma Maheshwar pose, with Shiva sitting cross-legged and embracing his wife, Uma (Parvati). This icon is also sometimes known as the Bhavani Sankar, suggesting an alternate name for the temple, which never gained popular traction. The nearest Jholungepul(suspension bridge) from Kathmandu city is the Tinthana Bridge in Kirtipur, which is about a 10-minute walk from Nayabazar. As you step foot on the Jholungepul, you will notice that it is situated above a very deep gorge below which the Balkhukhola flows. If you are someone with a weak heart, then prepare yourself, because your spine is going to feel the chills. Crossing the Jholungepul will be a frightening, yet memorable moment when you are in Kirtipur. Hope you enjoy the video.
