1400 வருடங்களாக நீரில் மிதக்கும் விஷ்ணு சிலை ! அறிவியலை மிஞ்சும் அதிசயம் ! Archaeological explorations indicate that Kathmandu and the two other sister towns in the valley were the oldest towns and are traced to the period between 167 BC and 1 AD. Excavations conducted at Hadigaon and Lubhu in southern part of the valley, in Kathmandu, have unearthed brick walls and Stone Age tools.In 1992, workers digging a trench for the foundation of a house in Maligaon in Eastern Kathmandu discovered a life size (171 x 49 cm) standing male figure carved in pale sandstone, clearly made in the Kushan style. The sculpture was donated by an early Licchavi or pre-Licchavi monarch, named Jaya Varman with an inscription on the pedestal. Although the identity of the figure is contested, it is the authors'[who?] opinion that it is likely Jaya Varman himself who is portrayed. It is the oldest known inscription from the Kathmandu Valley. "The inscription on this sculpture, clearly dated to samvat 107, most likely corresponding to AD 185, provides this previously missing evidence, and pushes back the epigraphical documentation of royal rule in the Kathmandu valley nearly three hundred years." The geological setting of the valley points to the existence of a lake near Chobar gorge on the Bagmati River, below the present Pashupatinath Temple, which was a pilgrimage place during the period of the Buddha.This lake is said to have been drained by Manjushree Bodhisattva, a Buddhist saint, by cutting open an outlet in the southern rim of the valley. As a result, the valley that was created was fertile and people started cultivating here and building their homes here. As the valley grew, Manjushree is said to have worshipped Swayambhu on the hillock where the present Swayambhu temple is located.He also founded the city of Manjupatan, which today lies within the present Kathmandu Metropolitan area, located between Swayambu and Gujeswari near the airport. He even declared his disciple Dharmakarma as the ruler of that city. The reign of Abhir dynasty (of cowherds) of eighth rulers and the Kiratis said to be originally of the northeastern hill region of India (700 BC). Their succession of 29 rulers reigned here until the Lichhavis came into power.Four stupas around the city of Patan, near Kendra Hiranyavarna Mahavihara (called "Patukodon"), 5 kilometres far away from Kathmandu, is said to have been erected by Charumati, attests to the ancient history. kathmandu,kathmandu city,kathmandu nepal,kathmandu airport,kathmandu red light area,kathmandu sahar CHANNEL INFORMATION katkits channel has more about tamil and tamilnadu news,spritual news in tamil,trending news,viral videos,ஆன்மீக செய்திகள்,கோவில் வரலாறு ,கோவிலின் கட்டமைப்பு ,அதிசய தகவல்,வித்தியாசமான தகவல்,உண்மை செய்திகள்,தமிழ்நாட்டு அதிசயங்கள்,இந்திய தகவல்கள்,வரலாற்று செய்திகள்,சினிமா செய்திகள்,சினிமா செய்திகள்,teaser,new movies, For all the latest updates on Tamil Nadu, Kollywood movies, celebrities, Tamil News, Latest Tamil News, Tamil Nadu News, News in Tamil, Live Tamil News, Online Tamil News, Tamil Cinema News, Tamil Live News, tamil latest news, tamil news, latest news, tamil seithigal, tamil, Latest Tamil News, Tamil Nadu News, Kollywood News, Live Tamil Cinema News, Online Tamil Cinema News, Live Tamil Cinema News, Tamil Live Cinema News, tamil latest Cinema news, News Today & Events Here, Indiaglitz, Behindwoods, Behindwoods Air, Tamil Latest Cinema News, Kollywood Cinema, Kollywood Latest News, Tamil Political News, • இங்கே கடவுள் வருவதால் தடை செய்யப்பட்ட இடம்... இங்கே கடவுள் வருவதால் தடை செய்யப்பட்ட இடம் !இப்படி ஒரு அதிசய கோவிலா ! எங்கே தெரியுமா ? #Neeril mithakkum vishnu #
