Pottery Square, Thimi

A potter from Madhyapur Thimi handcrafts a clay pot, preserving the age-old tradition of pottery passed down through generations of the Prajapati community. Thimi, located in the heart of the Kathmandu Valley, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and expert craftsmanship in handmade pottery and ceramics. Daily life in Thimi’s Pottery Square reflects this living art form, though the pottery business is slowly diminishing due to a lack of successors to carry on the tradition.
