≈ काठमाडौंको प्राचीन इतिहास ≈
काठमाडौं उपत्यकाको प्राचीन इतिहास के हो ? किरात, लिच्छवि, गोपाल र महिषपालहरु को थिए ? अहिलेका किरात र उसबेलाका किरातहरु एकै हुन् ? नेवाः समुदायको उद्भव कसरी भयो ? उसबेलाको शहरी सभ्यता कस्तो थियो ? कैलाशकूट र मानगृहजस्ता दरबारहरु कहाँ बनेका थिए ? काठमाडौं, तिलौराकोट र सिन्धु घाटीको सभ्यता किन र कसरी एकै श्रृंखलामा गाँसिएका थिए ?

इतिहासका यस्ता थुप्रै पाटोको अन्वेषण गरेका छन्— प्रा.डा.सुदर्शनराज तिवारीले ।

What is the ancient history of the Kathmandu Valley? Who were the Kirat, Licchavi, Gopala, and Mahishpala? Are the Kirats of today the same as those of ancient times? How did the Newa community emerge, and what was urban civilization like during that period? Where were the grand palaces such as Kailashkut and Managriha located? Furthermore, why and how were the civilizations of Kathmandu, Tilaurakot, and the Indus Valley intertwined in a single chain?

Prof. Dr. Sudarshan Raj Tiwari has explored many aspects of this history.

Prof. Tiwari, an architect and historian, holds degrees in architecture from the University of Delhi and the University of Hawaii. His academic dissertation focuses on the ancient settlements of the Kathmandu Valley. With over 35 years of service at the Institute of Engineering Studies, Tribhuvan University, he served as the dean from 1988 to 1992.

Prof. Tiwari's interests center on Nepal's historical architecture, cities, culture, and heritage preservation. His recent research activities are in these areas – Technologies for building ecocities, श्रीयन्त्र (a tantrik diagram representing universe), वास्तुशास्त्र and वास्तु पुरुष मण्डल (ancient treatise on architecture and architectural design diagram).
