Lonely Planet review for Taleju Bell

Diagonally opposite Taleju Temple in the palace complex, the large Taleju Bell , hanging between two stout pillars, was erected by King Vishnu Malla in 1736. An earlier bell, erected in 1703, was then moved to the Rato Machhendranath Temple. Petitioners could ring the bell to alert the king to their grievances. Shop stalls occupy the building under the bell platform, and behind it is a lotus-shaped pool with a bridge over it.
