History justifies that from the pre-historic culture in the world the practices of making potteries were existed. Products made of pottery date back to prehistoric cultures around the globe. This custom first appeared in this region's Indus Valley Civilization around 2500 BC. It also existed in Nepal starting in the third century BC. Bhaktapur's pottery items are being developed from a tourism standpoint as a means of luring tourists. Consequently, pottery square is progressively growing in popularity as a hub of tourist attractions.
