The place Vishalnagar – Hadigaun

The surviving cultural heritage of Vishalnagar-Hadigaun is surprisingly extensive, much like its long and rich historicity with a pre-Lichchhavi progeny proven to date as far back as 1st century BC. Now largely Ward No. 5 of Kathmandu Metropolis, Vishalnagar- Hadigaun, located at the geometric center of Kathmandu valley, was the capital town of the ancient Lichchhavi Nepal. The Lichchhavi, ruled Nepal from first century A.D. and called their capital, Vishalnagar after Vishal, the first king in their own classical dynastic history. The name Hadigaun remember an even older past as in Kirat days it was vibrant place called Andipringa. With the host of sculptural images, temples, inscriptions, pati, dabali and other heritage such as festivals, food and other expressions of life and livning, the place is eminently worth visiting.
