ʻO kahi huakaʻi i Bhaktapur Durbar Square kahi huakaʻi hoʻi i ka wā. ʻO ia kekahi o nā huakaʻi kaulana loa ma Nepal, a pēlā nō. Ua mālama ʻia ke kaiapuni, ka leʻaleʻa, ka moʻomeheu, a me ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana a puni ka Durbar Square no nā haneli mau makahiki a noho mau me nā loli liʻiliʻi me nā manawa. Ua hoʻomaopopo pū ʻo UNESCO i kona koʻikoʻi no ka mea ua helu ʻia ʻo ia he kahua hoʻoilina honua.
ka Bhaktapur Durbar Square aia ma ke kikowaena o Bhaktapur, he 33 km wale nō ka mamao mai Kathmandu a he puka komo i ka nānā ʻana i nā wahi nani o Kuʻu ʻia. Hana ʻia ka huinahā holoʻokoʻa mai ʻehā mau ʻāpana: Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatraya Square, a me Pottery Square. ʻO Durbar, ma Nepali, ʻo ia ka hale aliʻi. No laila, ʻo Bhaktapur Durbar Square kahi i noho ai ka hale aliʻi o ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Bhaktapur (ʻike ʻia ʻo Bhadgaon a i ʻole Khwopa). Ua hoʻopuni ʻia kēia wahi e ka poʻe Newari, ʻo lākou nā kamaʻāina o ia wahi mai ka wā kahiko.
ʻO Khwopa ke kapikala o Nepal i ka wā o ke aupuni ʻo Malla a ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea nui loa o nā aupuni ʻekolu o Newa. ʻO nā luakini kahiko kiʻekiʻe, nā alanui pōhaku ʻulaʻula a keʻokeʻo, nā noho ʻana o Newari kahiko, nā kiʻi pōhaku kahiko, a me nā kālai lāʻau paʻakikī e hana i ka nani o Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Manaʻo nā malihini me he mea lā ua hoʻi lākou i ka wā o nā Malla i ko lākou wā ma ʻaneʻi, ʻoiai ua ʻoi aku ka kaʻawale a me ka mālama ʻia o ka wahi ma mua o nā Durbar Square ʻelua ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻopuni kekahi mau pagodas a me nā luakini kaila Shikhara i ka hale aliʻi, he mau mea koʻikoʻi nui kēia no ka poʻe haipule Hindu a me Buddhist. ʻO ka Luakini ʻo Vastala (i kūkulu ʻia i ke kenekulia 17), ʻo ka Luakini ʻo Yakcheswor (i kūkulu ʻia i ka makahiki 1480), a me ka Luakini ʻo Naytapola, ʻo ka Luakini ʻo Bhairav Nath, ʻo ka Luakini ʻo Dattatraya, ʻo ka Luakini ʻo Teel Mahadev Narayan, ʻo ka Luakini ʻo Bhimsen, a me nā luakini ʻē aʻe he nui e hoʻonani ana i ke kahua mai nā ʻaoʻao a pau. Ma waena o kēia mau luakini, ʻo ka luakini ʻo Naytapola (ʻelima papahele) ka mea nui loa i ka mōʻaukala o Nepal no ke kūkulu hale kahiko. Ua kūkulu ʻia kēia mau luakini a pau e nā mōʻī Malla i ko lākou wā aliʻi, mai ka makahiki 1400 a hiki i ka makahiki 1700.
ʻO ka hale aliʻi me nā puka makani he 55 kekahi o nā ʻāpana hoʻolālā kupaianaha loa ma Bhaktapur Durbar Square. ʻO ka Pujari Math (hale o ke kahuna pule) i kūkulu ʻia i ke kenekulia 15 e King Yaksha Malla ua kaulana ia no kāna mau kālai lāʻau a me ka puka makani peacock i waiho ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ka hale. ʻO Siddha Pokhari, aia ma ka puka o Bhaktapur, he wahi mākaʻikaʻi kaulana nō hoʻi.
Ua mālama maikaʻi ʻia ke akamai o ke kālai lāʻau ma Bhaktapur a ua hoʻoili ʻia mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna. ʻAʻohe hemahema o nā hale kūʻai e kūʻai aku ana i nā kiʻi Thangga kuʻuna, nā kālai lāʻau, nā ipu lepo, nā lole kuʻuna, a me nā kiʻi hao.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square loaʻa pū kekahi i kona kaulana mai nā mea ʻono kūloko e hiki ai i nā mea huakaʻi ke hauʻoli ma aneʻi. ʻO kekahi o nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻo ia ka mea ʻono ʻo Ju Ju Dhau ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka yogurt i hana ʻia ma kahi kūloko i hana ʻia a hāʻawi ʻia i loko o nā kīʻaha i hana ʻia mai ka lepo. Ua kaulana nō hoʻi ʻo Bhaktapur no kāna ʻano like ʻole o nā mea kanu kūloko, nā mea ʻala, a me nā mea ʻono.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Bhaktapur he kūlanakauhale o nā ʻahaʻaina a me nā hoʻolauleʻa. He nui nā Jatra, pujas, a me nā ʻahaʻaina ʻē aʻe, kahi e hauʻoli ai nā kamaʻāina me ka leʻaleʻa i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. ʻO kekahi o nā ʻahaʻaina kaulana a hoihoi i hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ma Bhaktapur ʻo Bisket Jatra, Kumar Khasti, Gai Jatra, Gunla, a me Yomari Purnima.
No laila, ʻo Bhaktapur Durbar Square kahi wahi huakaʻi kūpono no nā kānaka o nā makahiki a me nā makemake āpau. Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻo Bhaktapur Durbar Square kekahi o nā wahi e pono ʻole ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e haʻalele i ka manawa kūpono e kipa aku ai i ko lākou wā ma Nepal.
I ka hopena, kū ʻo Bhaktapur Durbar Square ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi o nā wahi mōʻaukala a me nā moʻomeheu waiwai nui loa o Nepal, e hāʻawi ana i nā malihini i kahi ʻike kupaianaha i ka wā kahiko o ka ʻāina. Hōʻike nā luakini i mālama ʻia o ke kahua, nā hale aliʻi, a me nā noho kuʻuna o Newari i ka ʻike noʻeau a me ka maikaʻi o ke kūkulu ʻana o ke Aupuni ʻo Malla. ʻO ka hele wāwae ʻana ma waena o kona mau pā hale kahiko a me nā alanui i hoʻopili ʻia i nā pōhaku lepo e hiki ai i nā mea huakaʻi ke ʻike i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike ola kahi e hoʻomau ai ka mōʻaukala, ka hoʻomana, a me ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO nā luakini nani, me ka Luakini ʻelima papa kaulana ʻo Nyatapola a me ka Hale Aliʻi 55-Window i kālai ʻia me ka nani, e hōʻike ana i ka hana lima kūikawā o nā hanauna i hala. ʻO ka lewa ʻuhane o ka ʻāina, i hoʻonui ʻia e nā kuʻuna Hindu a me Buddhist, e hoʻohui i kona hohonu a me ke koʻikoʻi o ka moʻomeheu.
Ma waho aʻe o kona mau kia hoʻomanaʻo, hāʻawi ʻo Bhaktapur i kahi ʻike moʻomeheu olaola ma o kāna mau mākeke kūloko, nā hana lima kuʻuna, a me ke ʻano nohona Newari maoli. Hiki i nā malihini ke ʻike i nā mea hana akamai e hana ana i nā kālai lāʻau, nā ipu lepo, a me nā kiʻi Thangka, e mālama ana i nā kuʻuna o nā kenekulia. ʻO ka mea ʻono kaulana o ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo Ju Ju Dhau, me nā meaʻai kūloko a me nā mea ʻono ʻē aʻe, hāʻawi i kahi ʻono kū hoʻokahi o ka hoʻoilina kuke o Bhaktapur. ʻO kāna mau ʻahaʻaina olaola, e like me Bisket Jatra lāua ʻo Yomari Purnima, e hoʻōla i ke kūlanakauhale me ke kala, ke mele, a me nā kuʻuna hohonu. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he UNESCO World Heritage Site, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Bhaktapur Durbar Square i ka hōʻailona o ka ʻike moʻomeheu waiwai o Nepal a me ke koʻikoʻi mōʻaukala. Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, he wahi koʻikoʻi ia e hāʻawi ana i kahi huakaʻi poina ʻole i ka hoʻoilina mau loa o Nepal.
