Newar Art during the Malla Period:

Visitors to the Kathmandu Valley are always impressed by its distinctive and complex art and architecture, and often see it as typically Nepalese. However, in most cases it is the creation of the original inhabitants of the Valley, the Newars, whose craftsmen worked at Lhasa and were also much influenced by Indian tradition. This illustrated survey covers the entire Malla Period, ending with the Gorkha conquest of 1768.
