taxi stand, ping pong table, pipal tree as site of puja, water tank (spring), small mahadev shrine behind |
chautara's are very important features in nepal. usually one finds a ber and pipal side-by-side (they are married after all) surrounded by a platform of sorts. the pipal may be worshiped as an aspect of lord vishnu. it is a place for porters to rest or even camp overnight. many have community fresh water wells or ponds. many have a shrine or temple nearby. chautara's are meeting places where folks wait for their friends, or hired a taxi or catch a bus. how should these be noted, asks the newbie.

Areas dedicated to religious purposes can be tagged The Taxi ranks and other features should probably be tagged separately as they would for other locations. |

I guess you could start with amenity=shelter. You should post a photo or some article, as it's not really clear to me what a chautara is. If it's just a named point for gathering, maybe place=locality would be better, maybe with a "description=chautara". Hope this helps, regards. 1
Great photos, thanks. I would start by mapping the different elements : amenity=bench, natural=tree, amenity=drinking_water... As for the chautara itself, it could be a landuse=village_green ! Read carefully the description and see if it fits. There was leisure=common, could have been relevant, but it's deprecated now, it was a very british thing.
