Newari

Facade
of Dwarika's Hotel, Old Baneshwar district,
Kathmandu.
Not long ago, in the rush to modernize Nepal old buildings were pulled down
and their beautiful carved Newari windows burned. A foresighted hotelier bought
hundreds of them and incorporated them into a spectacularly beautiful hotel.
Dwarika's has no control, however, over the way electrical wiring is hung on
the streets outside.
