The small valley of Nepāl proper, measuring about 20 miles by 15, is said to contain more than two thousand temples. Most of them are designed in a style differing but slightly from the familiar Chinese pattern, in which the roof is the main element, the walls being mere screens set between pillars. An excellent illustration of this style is afforded by a temple built at Bhātgāon in 1703 (Plate XII).⁵
