Bahal (Nepal Bhasa:बहाः) is a type of courtyard found amongst Newar communities in Nepal. It is the most dominant type of courtyard in Newari Architecture. Bahal is a Buddhist Monastery and derives its name from a Sanskrit word Bihara, meaning joy or enchantment and thus is a place of religious bliss〔Bahals of The Kathmandu Valley - Sudarsan Raj Tiwari〕 ==Characteristics== The characteristics of a Bahal are:- * A square or rectangular space bounded by buildings in all sides * Surrounding buildings built on a raised platform called Falcha * Ground paved with brick or stone * Generally centrally placed Chaitya * Often presence of a well * The building opposite to the main entrance generally houses a Guthi with idols of deities in the ground floor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahal, Nepal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
