Ranipokhari in the final stage of reconstruction

Reconstruction of Ranipokhari and Balgopaleshwar temples in Kathmandu has reached the final stage. Ranipokhari, which was controversial from the beginning while trying to change its original shape, is now full of water. All that is left now is to keep the gajur in the temple and decorate the pond premises.

The work of filling water in Ranipokhari has also been completed after the Archaeological Department and Reconstruction Authority constructed the physical infrastructure. Now, the gate of Balgopaleshwar temple will be kept with Malmas Sakina and the pond premises will be decorated. It is true that there were frequent disputes over Ranipokhari during the reconstruction after it was destroyed by the earthquake. That process did not stop until the water was finished. The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) with the help of the Ministry of Drinking Water has filled the pond by pouring Sundarijal water through Melamchi pipe after the property lovers protested against the attempt to fill the water using deep boring. President Bidyadevi Bhandari had laid the foundation stone for the reconstruction of Ranipokhari in January 2072 BS. The Kathmandu Metropolitan City, which was given the first responsibility for the construction, had to face strong opposition after it started working in the style of swimming pool against the originality. Finally, the Reconstruction Authority and the Department of Ponds and Archeology took charge of the temple reconstruction. Ever since then, heritage lovers have repeatedly expressed interest and pressure on construction materials and designs. That is why this time Ranipokhari has got the most original form. Ranipokhari was built by the ancient king Pratap Malla. The Balgopaleshwar temple in the middle of the pond is open only one day of the year during the festival. That is why Ranipokhari is an important historical heritage as well as religious and cultural heritage. It is necessary to pay equal attention to the preservation of this beautiful and charmingly revived heritage. . The Balgopaleshwar temple in the middle of the pond is open only one day of the year during the festival. That is why Ranipokhari is an important historical heritage as well as religious and cultural heritage. It is necessary to pay equal attention to the preservation of this beautiful and charmingly revived heritage. . The Balgopaleshwar temple in the middle of the pond is open only one day of the year during the festival. That is why Ranipokhari is an important historical heritage as well as religious and cultural heritage. It is necessary to pay equal attention to the preservation of this beautiful and charmingly revived heritage.
