Durbar Square was born out of a deep love for Nepal's rich cultural heritage and a desire to empower the incredibly talented artisans who keep ancient traditions alive. Inspired by the majestic royal squares that dot the country – historical sites that hold centuries of stories and craftsmanship – we sought to create a platform where these artisans could share their exquisite creations with the world.The devastating 2015 earthquake, followed by the global challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, underscored the vulnerability of these artisans' livelihoods and the importance of expanding their reach beyond traditional markets. Durbar Square emerged as a solution, providing a virtual marketplace where their handcrafted masterpieces could find new homes and appreciation.
