India history and geography

Gacchi-baha is the name of a Bāhā (i.e., a sacred courtyard in the Newari community where Buddhist priests reside) situated in the Bhaktapur region of the “Nepal Mandala” (popularly known as the “valley of Kathmandu”). These Vihāras, Bāhās and Bahīs were, and still are, the centre for Buddhist activities and also dwelling place of the monks or monastics. For example, the Gacchi-bahal. These monstaries, courtyards and other buildings possess a central place in Nepalese/Newar Buddhism and were mostly situated within the vicinity of the three cities of Kathmandu (northwest), Patan (Lalitpur) (south) and Bhaktapur (east).
