WNU Service. capital city of Nepal, sequestered kingdom the Himalayas north of India, is a curious mixture of new and old. It centers around an immense parade ground, a beautiful two-mistretch of closely cropped grass. Broadly speaking, the old part of the city lies to the west of this area, the new part to the east. Before the Gurkha conquest in 1768, the predominant and ruling race in Nepal was the Newar. The Newars are of Mongolian extraction and emigrated into Nepal fromTib-e- t in prehistoric times. They are responsible for the origin and development of Nepalese art in all its branches. Gurkha is really a comprehensive term, embracing both the foreign Rajputs and the indigenous races of Nepal other than the Newar. It comes from the little state of that name in western Nepal, where the immigrant Rajputs from the plains of India originally settled. These Rajputs, ancestors of the present rulers of the kingdom, fled to the hills after the Moslem sack of Chitor in 1303. Here they established themselves, flourished, and gradually extended their territories. It was not until 1768, however, that they finally effected the complete conquest of Nepal. Thenceforth the Rajputs held undisputed sway over this unique Himalayan kingdom. Internally, their activities have been directed not so much towards artistic as towards military advancement. Out of a total population of some 5,600,000, they have today an army of about 45,000. In times of need they can, d with the aid of their .reserve force, raise as many as 70,000 troops. Gurkha Army Really Powerful. The bulk of the soldiery is drawn from the Gurung and Magar tribes. Among these peoples are some of the hardiest fighting men in existence. When, therefore, they are placed under Rajput leaders, the descendants of an ancient race, for its deeds of courage and chivalry on the battlefield, the power of this mighty Gurkha army is formidable indeed. In Katmandu, the artistic spirit of the Newars and the martial spirit of the modern rulers mingle. To the west of the vast parade ground lies the old town with its palaces and temples, its tall houses and In the Durbar narrow streets. square, that essential feature of all Newar cities, the principal buildings are grouped in a rich profusion of pagoda roofs, painted wood, chiseled stone and shining metal. At one side stands the imposing palace of the former kings, built around a spacious courtyard. Close by it, raised on a high step plinth, towers the lofty temple of Taleju, the household goddess of the royal family. All around are temples and shrines and tall, slender pillars bearing bronze statues of kings and religious personalities. Modern City Quite Practical. The buildings in the indigenous brick pagoda style are of dull-re- d with tiled roofs supported by intricately carved wooden struts. The doors, too, are of wood and the lintels are invariably extended into the brickwork, where they form bold and effective designs. The woodwork is usually painted in bright colors and the roofs are sometimes covered with sheets of beaten brass, dazzling in the brilliant sun. Lost in this maze of the old Newar splendor stands the modern Hanuman Dokha, a large white building containing huge audience halls and staterooms, used for important ceremonies. THE le well-traine- world-famo- us of Nepal. Beyond the lovely Newar city, grouped around a huge park and stretching away to the east, lies modern Katmandu, the creation of the Gurkhas. Here are no romantic pagodas rising golden tier upon golden tier towards an azure heaven, but severely practical barracks, schools, colleges, hospitals, and European prisons built in the style. Here, too, are the immense modem palaces of the king, the Maharaja and the chief nobles, designed by French architects in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries. When one recalls the difficult jour ney into the valley over steep and wild mountain passes, it seems strange to look upon these vast buildings, standing in so remote a country, equipped with ,the most conveniences and luxuries The roads in the actual town are good and broad, and it is amusing to remember that all the motors and lorries which run on them have been carried bodily over the passes by swarms of coolies. Though Nepal is nominally a kingdom, the king in reality is little more than a religious figurehead, the actual government of the country falling to the lot of the prime minister, or maharaja. He is modern and enlightened in his outlook and anxious to introduce any new invention which may benefit his country, but he prohibits importation of certain Western creations. At 10 oclock every evening a curfew tolls in Katmandu and the other big towns of the kingdom and everybody must retire to his house. Anyone found in the streets after this time has to spend the night in prison. Gambling and drinking are forbidden except during certain festivals. The most popular is the great Durga Puja, which lasts ten days, during which time hundreds of buffaloes are beheaded in honor of the goddess Durga, who is but another form of the famous black Kali. Patan Is Picturesque. Besides Katmandu, there are two other large towns in the same valley, both former capitals of Nepal. Patan practically adjoins modern Katmandu. Passing through its narrow streets you come into the fantastic Durbar square. On one side, a graceful group of temples rises in a series of elegant red pagodas ribbed with gleaming bronze. Brightly colored struts, rich with delicate carving, support their myriad roofs; shimmering bell cap their airy upper stories. Opposite them, .and dotted irregularly over the spacious square, lies a swarm of other temples, a fountain, a colossal bell, and a number of tall, slender pillars bearing the shining bronze figures of gods and up-to-d- fin-ia- ls New world by way of Plymouth Rock as well as New Amsterdam.

There are also temples in silvery stone built up in tiers of intricately carved pillars, and pavilions which cluster around the massive curvilinear tower rising from their midst like some huge gray cactus plant. The third large town in the valley is Bhatgaon. It can be approached from Patan by motor over a bad, uneven road, a distance of some seven miles. Far the most delightful way to enter it, however, is on the back of an ambling Tibetan pony. In the early Eighteenth century the city was the capital of Raja Bhupatindra Malla, a man of exquisite taste and a patron of the arts. It was he who built the stately Durbar hall with its famous Golden Door one of the chief marvels of Nepal and its richly carved windows. Ybo Original Milk of Magnesia Wafer |
