what to buy in nepal bhaktapur
Bhaktapur's best buys are in wood. Browse
aroundthe workshops along the south side of Dattatraya Square
to get a feel for different styles, woods and techniques,
then haggle for bargains with the traders along the lane
that contains the Peacock Window. See basics for more on
what's available. Several shops around Durbar Square and
Taumadhi sell quality and artists can often be seen painting
them.
Nepalis recognize Bhaktapur for its traditional
textiles, such as black and red pataasi material and black
Bhadgaonle topi, formal headgear now worn mainly by traditionalists
and government officials. Foreigners will be
more attracted by the locally produced dhaka
in original designs, as well as block-printed, quilted cotton
items, pashmina shawls and Rajasthani-style tapestries.
Nawa Durga puppets and masks are widely
sold in Bhaktapur, but they're cheaper in Thimi where they're
made. Thimi is better for pottery, too. Film is sold in
many tourist shops. There's a film processing lab just west
of the Durbar Square gate.B
