Kirtipur

Kirtipur is a hilltop Newari City. The word Kirtipur consist of Kirti (Glory) and Pur (City) which in combined is known as the City of Glory. In the ancient period, this city was in its epitome in culture, trade, industry, and agriculture and had a very good relationship with various near states.
