Must Visit Temple in Nepal

Kasthamandap, a historic wooden structure in Kathmandu, Nepal, holds cultural and architectural significance. Believed to have been built from a single sal tree in the 12th century, it served various purposes over the centuries, from a rest house to a shelter for pilgrims. The name "Kasthamandap" is derived from "kastha" (wood) and "mandap" (pavilion). Unfortunately, the devastating earthquake in 2015 severely damaged the structure, leading to its collapse. Efforts have been underway to reconstruct Kasthamandap, highlighting the community's commitment to preserving its rich heritage. This iconic monument symbolizes the resilience and cultural heritage of Kathmandu, reflecting the historical and social fabric of the region. #Tripstars
