© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Hitis of Patan | Stone Water Spout | Patan | Kathmandu | Nepal People wait in lines in the early afternoon are a daily ritual in the centre of the palace complex in Patan, Lalitpur.

Kathmandu valley depended on traditional water structures like stone spouts (hitis/dhunge dharas), ponds (pokhoris) and wells for their water supply until the middle of the nineteenth century when…
