A few kilometres away from the city is a place called Bungmati. This place has a great importance among Newar tribes. It is one of the most beautiful temples in Kathmandu. It is around ten kilometres away from the city to the south. The place is a kind or suburb area of the valley and it is very famous for chilly and mustard oil. The majority of the population is engaged in agriculture and there are quite a number of carpenters who are rather into artistic carving than modern architecture. The Bungmati temple itself is an example of art and culture and it reflects the artistic proficiency of the village. Bungmati has a lot to boast about when it comes to wooden handicrafts.
The village is full of traditional Newar houses where garlic can be seen hanging on the trunks of the roofs. The locals are Newars and the aged Newars there have their own lifestyle. They have a different world of their own and they have plenty to do within their locality. The old aged women are seen to be busy playing with hay and most of them don’t speak any other language than Newar. Though a small congested area, Bungmati is a real wooden craft gallery. It is a must visit place in the Kathmandu valley.
