Following the row over reconstruction activity in Nepal\u2019s earthquake-hit areas, 19 different heritages were restored in Nepal\u2019s Swayambhunath area!<\/p>\n
The Swayambhu Management and Protection General Committee has invested around Rs 50 million for the area\u2019s renovation works.<\/p>\n
Restored heritages include Bayupur & Basupur shrines, Basundhara temple\u2019s roof, a chaitya in front of the Shanti Pond and a bell in front of the Swayambhu Chaitya.<\/p>\n
Besides these, the Anantapur and Pratappur monuments were also refurbished with support from Archeology Department. On the other hand, Bahumangaldwar chaitya was repaired with UNESCO\u2019s support.<\/p>\n
The Committee mentioned that restoration activity in the Swayambhunath area was carried out by several donor agencies and internal resources.<\/p>\n
Shantipur temple\u2019s restoration works began two years ago at the cost of Rs 40 million, but got delayed owing to the lack of skilled labor.<\/p>\n
According to the Archeology Department, 753 heritage sites including Dharahara<\/a>, Ranipokhari<\/a> and Kasthamandap were hit by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake<\/a>.
