North of the Shiva Parvati temple, the square narrows and then opens out to another temple-clogged area. Ranged along the left (western) side are the Taleju Bell , an octagonal Krishna Mandir , and a pair of ceremonial drums from the eighteenth century. The bell and drums were historically sounded as an alarm or call to congregate, but are now used only during the festival of Dasain. Next to the palace opposite the bell, a small bas relief depicts Jambhuwan , the legendary teacher of Hanuman the monkey god. Just to the north of this, look up to see the Kun Jhyal , a gold-plated window frame flanked by two ivory ones, once used by Malla kings to watch processions in the square below.
