Kumari Ghar House: Living godess Kumari lives here. She is selected as a child in the age of 4 to 5 years, always from the caste of the gold-and silversmiths. She is from then on educated by priests. She is said to be an incarnation of the goddess Taleju. The house of the Kumari was built in 1757. A small door between two lions leads into the courtyard.
