Preserve Temples

Kathmandu has an international fame as the city of temples. However, in recent years these timeless heritages are gradually losing their identity because of the ugly human intervention. Once the integral part of the cultural life of the local people, temples now have been neglected more than ever before. Lost idols, falling roofs and plants growing on roof tops are common sights. Instead of worshipping and praying, people have invented new use of temples: to keep shops and restaurants and even use as permanent shelters.

Therefore, some kind of ‘renaissance’ awareness is wanting to revive the glorious culture of the past and protect our invaluable temple heritage.
