Ason Bazar anchors the intersection of six narrow streets in the heart of Kathmandu. The three-story temple of Annapurna, the goddess of grain, sits right in the middle of the crowded square, draped in prayer flags and copper offerings. Merchants have traded spices, textiles, and household goods here for centuries along the old trade route between India and Tibet. When the earthquake of eighteen thirty-three struck, the people of the city rebuilt the market stalls and shrines exactly where they stood before.
