A UNESCO supported project to create an inventory documenting objects recovered from Hanumandhoka Durbar Square, a site located at the heart of the rich cultural heritage of Nepal which witnessed significant destruction in the 2015 earthquakes, has been successfully completed.Hanumandhoka Durbar Square suffered the total collapse of ten structures in the earthquakes, and significant damage to many others. During the rescue operation and subsequent clearing of the sites, the building elements and objects recovered from the square were placed across 23 locations in an assortment of mixed sites.
Hanumandhoka is a complex of Durbar Square of central Kathmandu, Nepal, with
structures including the Royal Palace of the Malla kings and of the Shah dynasty.It is one of the seven monument zones of the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Site, and represents part of Nepal’s living heritage as a site which has ongoing religious interaction and worship. Key sites such as the Kasthamandap were included in the project, which will serve to provide a clear and essential inventory of items to be used in the rebuilding process, as well as preserving the rich heritage of the city.
