Kathmandu

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and the most developed city in the whole country of Nepal. Kathmandu, the dream of many Nepalese is one of the historically and culturally rich city. The history of Nepal is dated as history of Kathmandu valley as this was the original Nepal valley. The name was used as the name of the country after unification of Nepal by Prithvi Narayan Shah, the then king of Gorkha. The culture florished before the Shah dynasty. But during the Shah dynasty the rulers were busy in unification and could not value the culture of the place. They were too busy to give time for such rejoices that the people cherished. Hence the downfall in the terms of cultural richness gradually resulted in the present state where most of the rituals that the Nepalese performed degraded. There was no new things as there was no interest from the government and constant intervention resulted in the bad image of culture towards the general people. This can be cured still if proper awareness and research is conducted. Lets hope it all lasts for a long time as Lord Buddha has said "Nothing lasts for ever".
