Pokhara's traditional
bazaar is colorful and so are its ethnically diverse traders. Around here
the temples and monuments reflect Newar architecture of the Kathmandu
valley. Located about four kms from Lakeside ,The market's original charm is
alive and thriving . Ganesh Tole and Ram Krishna Tole is the old market
(bazaar) of Pokhara and it provides a glimpse into the traditional ambience
of art and architecture of the Pokhara valley . This area with the red brick
walls, carved windows and tile roof harbours some interesting temple also.
The old bazaar is also home to one of Pokhara's most important shrines
locally called the Bindyabasini Mandir.
