The city of Bhaktapur is divided into two centres,the lower town around the Durbar and Taumadhi Squares and the upper town around Dattatreya Square. A network of stress connects the Taumadhi and Dattatreya Squares. The alleys that led to the Dattatreya square are filled with thangka (religious scroll paintings) schools,music shops and stalls selling Bhaktapur's famous curd. Bhaktapur is often referred to as the best preserved of the valley's three towns and indeed,it still shows a great deal of traditional Newari character.
