A note on some typical architectural designs of western Nepal

Western Nepal, including the whole mountainous and hilly regions, was prosperous during the rule of Khasa King from the twelfth century to the fourteenth century A.D. The political hegemony where Khasa King ruled all over the hilly regions was expanded up to the Gandaki River in the east and Kumaun rehion in the west. The historical and socio-religious influences on material arts and crafts of the region are quite illustrable. Not only were the religious art and craft commonly fostered in the region, but also the secular art objects appeared through the means of social service activities made by the king and commoners in the history of western Nepal.
