The last square we explored was the Dattatreya Square which is dedicated to the god

Dattatreya. There is one very iconic monument there known as the Nyatapola Temple.

There are two elephants and two wrestlers who protect the temple and the two
wrestlers were known to be the strongest wrestlers of the place. The elephants are

known to be stronger than the wrestlers, that is why they stay on the top of the
wrestlers, but the lion is known to be the strongest that’s why it stays on the top most

row. The next place we explored was the Pottery square. There are many skilled
potters working in this area who are majorly Prajapatis and they use many ovens that

bake the clay to make the pottery. The pottery is made by spinning and sculpting it as
it spins. They make piggy banks, vases, decorative cups and other beautiful and

intricately designed things too.
