Historic stone water spouts in Nepal, designed as naga (serpent) structures. Set in a brick-lined courtyard, the spouts feature intricately carved details. Steps lead down to a sunken basin partially covered with green algae. An adjacent building displays traditional Nepali architecture with wooden windows and tiled roof. The space, bordered by brick walls, serves as a functional and ceremonial bath area, reflecting ancient water management practices and cultural symbolism in Nepalese architecture.
