This paper analyses the settlement quarters of Buddhist communities of Patan of Kathmandu Valley utilizing the cadastral survey map of the city made by Department of Land Survey, HMG of Nepal. The case studies include four settlement quarters characterized by dwelling clusters arranged around the large residential quadrangles with Buddhist monastery courts. The study finds that the quarters are planned in the quarter block scale and follow a grid system whose dimensions are found to confirm with a system of measure described in the Arthasastra of Kautilya who lived in 4th century BC, and was the prime minister of Chandragupta Maurya. The analysis reveals the employment of a particular form of open quadrangle as the central feature emphasized by axes and the monastery court at the core, and a standard quarter block that results from this manner of layout planning. The paper, thus, discovers a layout pattern of settlement quarters that may be identified as one of the planning principles of Buddhist community settlements of Patan.
