    Construction Technology of Multi-Tiered Temples and Their Rehabilitation after 2015 April Earthquake in Bhaktapur Rabina Shilpakar1, Prem Nath Maskey2, Pramila Silpakar3 Abstract Kathmandu Valley comprises of numerous tiered temples ranging from single-tiered to the multi-tiered. The 2015 Gorkha earthquake and the following aftershocks caused damages to many temples; the damages ranging from minor to few fully collapsed state. This paper focuses on Nepal’s tallest temple the Nyatapola, square-shaped in the plan and the Bhairavnath temple, rectangular-shape in the plan - representing the tiered temples with more than three tiers of the Kathmandu Valley. The paper investigates the employed indigenous construction technology, materials, structural and seismic performance of these temples. The paper also deliberates on the condition/ level of damage suffered by these temples during the 2015 earthquake; presents the existing condition and the ongoing reconstruction/ renovation works and interventions introduced following the recommendations of the structural, architectural and conservation experts. Keywords: Earthquake, technology, reconstruction, renovation Introduction Nepal is a culturally diversified and rich country in art and architecture. The Kathmandu Valley, in particular, has numerous temples of different styles/ types - shikhara, dome, and tiered temples. The tiered temples also vary from a single-tiered to five-tiered temples with its distinctive features.

It collapsed into a pile of rubble in the first of the earthquakes that rattled Nepal in April-May, 2015. Kasthamandap (literally Wooden Hall), originally a public rest-house (sattal), has also served many social and religious functions over its lifetime. It was easily the oldest standing building in all of Nepal, dating back to at least 1143 CE. Kasthamandap underwent numerous repairs, remodeling, and renovations over the centuries. However, the large platform with its surrounding quartet of tall, one-piece, “ship-mast” pillars and carved capitals – collectively making up its defining core – most likely date from the original foundation. Kasthamandap is also the largest structure ever built in the traditional triple-tiered roof style. In Nepal, its grand interior space was never surpassed until the eighteenth century. Further, it alone preserves the original configuration and may have established some sort of prototype for a suite of sattals built during the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries.

This includes intriguing historic living cities, overflowing with monuments some of which are of great antiquity. It has many styles of traditional settlement, all set against some of the world's most dramatic mountain scenery. Festivals, often dating from pre-history, still abound and are filled with vitality and colour. The city is blessed by a pleasant year-round climate, affording stunning mountain views for much of the year. In addition to this the city is peopled by an unfailingly friendly population who are generally very happy to share their innate hospitality as well as their many customs and traditions with visitors.

  • Geochronologies from the Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site
    Geoarchaeological Assessment of Post-earthquake Kasthamandap Working Paper 3 May 2019 Geochronologies from the Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site: Optically Stimulated Luminescence measurement of monument foundation sediments and radiocarbon measurement of timbers. Kinnaird, T.C.1, and Simpson, I.A.2 1School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of St Andrews 2School of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Stirling Nepal was struck by two major earthquakes on the 25th April and the 12th May 2015, which devastated large areas of the county, with substantial loss of life and livelihoods, and destroying both rural and urban infrastructure and property. The earthquakes and associated aftershocks damaged and destroyed much of Nepal’s unique cultural heritage, including monuments within the Kathmandu Valley’s UNESCO World Heritage Site of Universal Outstanding Value. These damaged monuments are currently subject to a major program of consultation, reconstruction and conservation. As part of this, geoarchaeological investigations are underway on the foundation sediments of the collapsed monuments within the damaged Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka and Bhaktapur and the temple complex of Pashupati. This report summaries: a) the OSL investigations on foundation sediments to the Changu Narayan and Vatsala Temples (Bhaktapur) and Jaisideval, Kathamandap, Pashupati and Trailokya Mohan Temples (Kathmandu; Table 1).; b) the radiocarbon measurements from timbers salvanged from the Kasthsmandap monument The background to these investigations, and the descriptions of the methods and protocols used in determining luminescence ages have been presented in three interim reports – Kinnaird et al. (2016), Kinnaird and Simpson (2018) and Kinnaird et al. (2018). The technical details are not re- produced here, but a summary of the techniques and protocols employed in the OSL analyses is appended in ‘Supplementary Data Files’.

  • Debating Identity: Reflections on Coverage of Dharaharā and Kāṣṭhmaṇḍap Post Gorkha-Earthquake 2015
    Debating Identity: Reflections on Coverage of Dharaharā and Kāṣṭhmaṇḍap Post Gorkha-Earthquake 2015 Abhas Dharananda Rajopadhyaya Abstract The 7.8 Mw Gorkhā-earthquake in April 2015, took 8,857 lives, injured 21,952, destroyed 755,549 buildings, 581 heritages and cost an estimated approximate $513.38 billion. Many heritage sites, including those enlisted in the World Heritage Site, were damaged due to this disaster. The fall of Dharaharā, among all cultural-historical sites, was given (un- ) due attention by many national media, owing to high number of deaths and as a popular landmark of the city. This modern elite tower structure was presented as symbol of national unity and of 'rising back'. But there are other important public heritages too — many centuries older than Dharaharā and they too had stories of deaths, of injuries and of survivals, but received a very small space or almost none in the national media. I take an example of Kāṣṭhamaṇḍap that hosted over 54 people during the earthquake. I have used the method of qualitative content analysis to discuss the construction of identity by national media. Keywords: Gorkha earthquake, heritage, Kasthamandap, Dharahara, media coverage, qualitative analysis, reconstruction, identity 68 Bodhi: An Interdisciplinary Journal 7 (1) Background Nepal has, for centuries, been prone to disasters, including earthquakes with major ones hitting almost once every century. Earthquakes, from the historically recorded 1223 AD (1280 BS) earthquake1 or that of 1255 AD (NS 375 or 1312 BS) claiming life of reigning King Abhaya Malla (reign: 1216 – 1255 AD) and one-third of the city population to as recent as those in 1834 AD, 1934 AD and now 2015 AD are major ones of the respective centuries that proved disastrous for the nation.

  • Community Based Participatory Approach in Cultural Heritage Reconstruction: a Case Study of Kasthamandap
    Community based participatory approach in Cultural Heritage Reconstruction: A case study of Kasthamandap Rija Joshi1, Alina Tamrakar2, Binita Magaiya3 Abstract Kasthamandap, a centrally located monument in the old settlement of Kathmandu, is the 7th century structure, from which the name of Kathmandu valley originated. Kasthamandap was originally a public rest house and holds social, cultural and religious significance. The 25th April Gorkha earthquake completely collapsed the monument and it took a year before the government disclosed its reconstruction plan. However, the preparations were not satisfactory. The proposed plans severely contradicted with the traditional construction system. The introduction of modern materials such as steel and concrete made the aesthetic and artistic values of the monument to lose its original identity. The general public couldn’t accommodate with the idea of our national heritage being rebuilt with considerably newer materialistic ideas and a large public outcry against the proposal was seen. The necessity of reconstruction using traditional methods and materials with equal involvement of the community was realised to maintain identity, increase community belongingness and to connect new generation with the heritage. Therefore, a community initiative to rebuild Kasthamandap started with the involvement of diverse groups from the community. This paper discusses the observations, learning and achievements of community participation of the Kasthamandap rebuilding process. Further, the paper includes exploration of both tangible and intangible aspect and its benefits for overall heritage knowledge of Kathmandu valley. This paper presents an exemplary participatory heritage-making concept, which can be a learning for heritage reconstructions in future. Key words: Cultural Heritage, Community participation, Reconstruction, Conservation 1.

It was the largest earthquake to strike Nepal in over 80 years. That tremor, plus subsequent aftershocks, left more than 9,100 people dead and nearly 25,000 others injured. Extensive damage was recorded throughout Nepal, particularly in the capital city of Kathmandu. The main jolt was later followed by a major magnitude-7.3 aftershock on May 12, 2015. Ground shaking from the first earthquake lasted for two minutes according to local reports and was felt as far away as New Delhi in India, Lahore in Pakistan, Lhasa in Tibet, and Dhaka in Bangladesh. Minimally 379 aftershocks rattled Nepal and the surrounding region with magnitudes 4.0 or greater in the months after the event, including five which registered above magnitude-6.0. Extensive catastrophic damage to property was reported throughout central Nepal, including in Kathmandu and throughout the Kathmandu Valley. Hundreds of thousands of buildings collapsed across many parts of Nepal as a result of the earthquakes, and the combined total of houses destroyed stood at 605,254.
