Updated:4 years ago

Lalitpur (Nepal), June 18 (ANI): On the steps of Krishna Mandir in the premises of Patan Durbar Square, golden throne is kept on display for the public so that people can offer their prayers and worship it. Dating back to nearly four centuries and before the formal unification of Nepal, the golden throne belongs to the then King of Lalitpur Shree Niwas Malla. The throne that is kept on display at the square of Patan Durbar which once used to be the royal palace was built in the year 1666 AD. As per the scriptures and data that is incurved on the throne, the royal seat is dedicated to all public not only the royal family. With the formal end of the Malla regime in Nepal and the unification of the modern nation, the throne had remained unattended and disregarded inside the Patan Durbar (the former royal palace). Easy to carry by separating the parts and pieces, the pieces of the throne were scattered and kept at various locations around the Kathmandu Valley. The throne that goes out on display once a year is made of gold. The seat for the King is made over the structure of Garudh with two lions on both sides standing over the pair of elephants which symbolizes wealth.
