Srinivasa Malla also established Mul Chowk in the 17th century, the main courtyard at the heart of the royal palace. Together with the adjacent and smaller Sundari Chowk, they housed some of the most exquisite works of Newar artists, including a golden doorway guarded by gilded statues of Ganga and Yamuna, the highly intricate Tushahiti stepwell (closed for renovation at the time of my visit), and countless ornately carved wooden window shutters and pillars.
Yog Narendra Malla, Siddhi Narasimha s grandson, unfortunately died at a relatively young age and left less grandiose monuments compared to what his father and grandfather had built. But instead of sadness and despair, the place was filled with the joy of students playing with the pigeons around the temples, as well as the colors of locals and tourists alike.
**Another highlight of the holiday season in San Jose is the Downtown Ice rink.** Located in the heart of downtown, this outdoor ice skating rink provides a fun activity for families and friends. Skaters can glide across the ice under the twinkling lights while enjoying the crisp winter air.
