Summary

| Description |
English: A white neoclassical building known as the Gaddhi Baithak stretches in the Basantapur palace area. This European style building was built as a part of the palace in the early twentieth century by Rana prime minister Chandra Shamsher during the reign of King Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah.
The building is known to have been modeled after London’s National Gallery. With its white exterior and a completely European design, the Gaddhi Baithak presents a stark contrast to the surrounding Nepali architecture. Although Chandra Shamsher had the palace built for residential use by Kings, by the time of King Mahendra Shah, the palace had become a center from which Kings ruled and settled the affairs of the country, and hence its name Gaddhi Baithak or the Royal Seat. This palace inspired a new phase of palace constructions in European style all over the Himalayan kingdom (and mostly in the valley capital) [hanumandhoka.gov.np] |
