Lalitpur festival

Lalitpur Festival 2013 was organized for a week starting from March 28 to 3 April 2013. It was an ‘effort towards transforming city into one of the most vibrant city for its rich culture and heritage, social lifestyles, its traditional handicrafts and its industries borne upon its traditions.’ I was very much impressed with the art and culture of the people of Lalitpur—especially of Patan.
