Daily Life At Pottery Square In Bhaktapur, Nepal

Clay pots made by Sajan Prajapati, a Nepalese potter, are seen at his workshop in Pottery Square, Bhaktapur, Nepal, on April 26, 2026. The traditional craft continues as part of a small-scale pottery industry in the historic city, known for its rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Bhaktapur, an ancient town in the Kathmandu Valley and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its temples, fine architecture, and wood, metal, stone, and clay artistry. Pottery has been an integral part of Bhaktapur's history for generations, with skills passed down through families. The craft is especially highlighted during the Tihar festival when earthen lamps and vessels are widely used and displayed. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
