Wood carving that reflects the traditional architecture, has always been the pride of Nepal for centuries.Wood carving is widespread in temples, monasteries,furnitures,palaces and residential homes as well.This art of wood carving could be seen in intricate patterns of geometrical, god and goddess,floral and animal and many more forms.
Among the woodcarver clans, the Silpakars and Kaisthakar are best known carvers.These day Woodcraft has become one of Nepal's best industries.Here are some pictures taken by my n95 mobile around Basantapur darbar square Kathamdnu and Patan darbar square Lalitpur Nepal.

thanks for dropping by and answering my query on why blog.
i started getting serious about blogging last december when i get bored with the busyness of my life and now i am hooked! ha ha
My only problem with wood carving is that it can only last so long and it is so easy to destroy. That is why carving in stone is much better.
