EDITORS COMMENTS
Gaddee Baithak Palace, a striking architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Basantapur Durbar Square in Kathmandu, Nepal, is a testament to the unique fusion of Nepalese and European design elements. Built in 1908 during the Rana period, this palace was constructed in the European style, reflecting the influence of colonial rule on Nepalese architecture. The name "Gaddee Baithak" translates to "seat under the umbrella," which refers to the large umbrella-like canopy that once covered the entrance. The late 1950s photograph captures the palace in its timeless beauty, with intricate carvings adorning the wooden balconies and ornate stonework decorating the exterior walls. The red brick facade is a stark contrast against the lush greenery that surrounds the palace, creating a breathtaking scene. The palace's grandeur is further accentuated by the tall spires and ornate windows, which are reminiscent of European architecture. Despite the passage of time, Gaddee Baithak Palace remains a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world who are captivated by its unique blend of Nepalese and European architectural styles. The palace stands as a reminder of Nepal's rich cultural heritage and the influence of colonial rule on its architectural landscape.
