Kathmandu - Agam Chen Pagoda

The triple roofs rising above the gate into Nasal Chowk belong to the Agam Chen Pagoda, dedicated to the Malla family deity. Since access was barred to all but the royal family, the shrine was situated on the second floor. Despite widespread alterations to the palace façade during the reign of Jung Bahadur, elements of the old Malla palace have been preserved, among them the Agam Chem Pagoda with its delightful wood-carvings.
