The Patan Durbar Museum is bustling with the public. The palace museum was closed after the Covid-19 epidemic spread across the country. The bustle has increased since the Durbar Museum was opened to the public on November 23.
Official Sureshman Lakhe said that the museum is open only from 10 am to 4 pm. He said, "The number of people coming to visit the museum on the first day has increased from 25 to around 140 on Saturday and around 70 on other days." Lakhs informed that domestic, as well as foreign tourists, have started entering the Durbar Museum, which was opened after the Corona epidemic.
Apart from staging this year's Kartik dance last Friday and Saturday at 'Kartik Dabli' near Patan Kashna Temple, the Durbar Museum has also been exhibiting photographs and documentaries of the Natyakala Mahotsav since those days. Kiran Chitrakar, the chairperson of the conservation committee, said that about 30 dance pictures and a 24-minute documentary are being displayed in the exhibition.
At the same time, there seems to be a lot of activity in the palace premises these days. With the devastation of Corona in the country, the movement of people in Patan was zero since April last year. According to a local, they have been entering the Patan Durbar premises to warm themselves for a few hours as the temperature has risen across the country since this month.
Due to the bustle of many domestic and foreign tourists in Patan at this time last year, even walking in the Mangal Bazaar area was difficult. The Patan Durbar area is full of temples and heritage of archeological importance. Various woodwork, sculpture, masonry, metalwork and handicraft materials are manufactured in Patan. Patan is known as the oldest city among the three famous cities of Kathmandu Valley.
