Kailashkut Bhawan
Kailashkut Bhawan was a palace in Nepal, built by Lichhavi King Amshuverma immediately after he was crowned in 598 CE.[1] It was constructed in vedic tripura style, having three adjoining buildings, Indragriha, Managriha and Kailashkut, and three courtyards.[2]
The Chinese monk Xuanzang mentioned the Kailashkut Bhawan in his travelogue and noted that the upper floor lobby could hold 1,000 people.[3]
Some remains of the palace may be located in Handigaun, Kathmandu District.[4][5]
