This is Patan

With most of the monuments now complete for the Patan Darbar Earthquake Campaign, the Trust put up scaffolding to begin our latest project, the restoration of the Octagonal Krishna Temple, on March 3rd. Just three weeks after this restoration began, we were compelled to halt the project due to the pandemic. The lockdown by the Government of Nepal began on March 24 and stopped site work for 2 months.
