    The courtyard of Keshav Narayan Chowk stands on the site of the earliest Malla-era structure in Patan, a four-cornered fort, which vanished long ago. The date of the present courtyard's foundation is not known, but it was subsequently rebuilt in 1680, 1693, 1734, and again in the 19th century. The tiny shrine at the centre of the square is dedicated to Keshav Vishnu, from which the courtyard derives its formal name: Manikeshav Chowk. Narayan is another name for Vishnu, accounting for the courtyard's alternate name, Narayan Chowk.
