Dear Janabaha Society,
Heartily greetings from Singapore. I am very impressed by the Society's effort to renovate Janabaha and make it a place for Newari cultural revival.
I have fond memories of going to Janabaha when I was a child, and I remember looking at the portraits of the kings in the music hall. And I can't describe my delight to be able to find these pictures on the internet. With you permission, I would like to upload the pictures to Wikipedia and use it for Malla era articles.
Also I have a question regarding the portrait of Bhupatindra Malla, as given in your site. I wonder if that king is Bhupatindra Malla of Bhaktapur (reign 1696-1722)or Bhupalendra Malla (reign 1687–1700), king of Kantipur, son of Pratap Malla. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Malla_Kings_of_Nepal
I feel that the portrait has to be that of Bhupalendra Malla, the son of Pratap Malla, and not Bhupatindra Malla, since I don't know why a king of Bhaktapur has to be depicted in temple of Kantipur.
I would greatly appreciate your answers to my query. And I wish your Society my best in the coming future.
Yours Sincerely,
Sudarshan Guruacharya
