  • "Hira Mahal" is being built at a cost of 16 crores

How much would it cost to build a mud house in the village? If you invest 5 to 10 lakhs at most, you can build a house made of stone and clay. But here a house is being built for 16 crores. The house built by connecting only stones from the foundation to the axis of the house is set to be completed for 16 million rupees. Bhim Bahadur Gharti Chhetri of Baglung Municipality-14 Narayansthan is going to build a stone house.

This work has been going on for the last 7 years . From morning to evening, 78-year-old Bhim Bahadur and his wife Sumitra seem to be busy in building a house. Apart from brick, cement, wood and other materials, many people are interested in houses made of stone only.

It has taken so many years to complete the work of a single house when it is built only with stone . Gharti is building this house in memory of her mother. He has named the house 'Hira Mahal' in memory of his mother Hiradevi Gharti Chhetri.

80 years ago, Bhim Bahadur's father Dhan Bahadur married 7 wives . The eldest among them was Hira . She supported Dhan Bahadur throughout his life even after spending 6 half-years. Hira passed away in 2058 at the age of 81. Babu Dhan Bahadur passed away in 2071 at the age of 96. Bhim Bahadur said that he is going to build a diamond palace as a memorial in the memory of his mother, who was tolerant despite having six children. He has prepared to build a museum in memory of his parents in one room and the rest of the rooms will be open for use.

Dhan Bahadur has 7 siblings. In the name of their parents, they gave 1.5 million rupees support to Janata Mavi here 22 years ago. After that, according to the law of the time, the name of the school became Janatadhan . In other schools here too, the JC family has helped in the improvement of furniture, computer lab etc. .

Now Hira Mahal is being built by investing more than 160 crores. The windows in this palace are also made of stone. Even the beds and beds are carved out of stone. 24 beds have been made of small stones. Inside and outside the two-story building, those beds are decorated . Drawers, storage racks, kitchens, toilets and wash basins are also made of stone. The outside of this house built on eight ropani land is also stamped with stone. Two badminton courts are also made of stone. It is made of stone from the walls to the roof.

Baglung Municipality-13 Paiupata bought stone and brought it to print at home . The stones he cut are up to 12 feet in length and 10 feet in width . The stones on the wall are also cut and made into pieces. "I have built a house so that it will not be damaged even by an earthquake, it will not be damaged for a thousand years," said Jisi, "Even if we all die, the house will live for generations." But he said that as the work progressed, it would cost 160 million. Bhim Bahadur said that more than 120 crores have been paid so far. Wife Sumitra first advised not to build such an expensive house. But she did not plan to build a house and live alone, but she also agreed to make it like a monument in the name of Mother Hira. Bhim Bahadur and Sumitra have 2 brothers, sons and 3 daughters. 10 people including 2 sons, 3 daughters, husband and wife and two grandsons and one granddaughter are working to invest in this campaign .

Bhim Bahadur's couple are the only ones investing here. The possibility of other members coming back and staying is also low . But they have invested in construction. Bhim Bahadur worked in the Indian Army. After 7 years he joined Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). Bhim Bahadur, who retired from working in India for 35 years after 28 years as IOC, was financially self-sufficient. The elder son Bhoj Bahadur is a computer engineer in Canada and the younger son Dharma Bahadur is a ship captain in Singapore.

He said that the daughters have also started to improve by reading and writing. The plan is to use this house as a guest house to decorate it regularly. "We didn't start the work thinking like that, the people who came to see it suggested to develop it as a tourist house," Bhim Bahadur said, "If regular tourists come and stay, the house will be cleaned and new experiences can be gained during their stay." The number of people who come to see it as tourists has increased. This house is being built at a distance of 2 km from the world's second highest bungee jump. The building has been built so that the tourists who come here can be taken as a homestay. "It is not a commercial building directly, but if guests want to stay, we will arrange to keep it for a minimum fee," said Jisi, "many people have started coming to take pictures and see the stone materials." The local Kaligarh has been employed in the construction of this building for 7 years. Devi Nepali, who worked as a stone cutter, said that she taught her son to be a doctor.
