The Kaligandaki River, which is of religious importance, is drying up. River civilization is disappearing due to exploitation in the name of mining stones, gravel and sand. The world-famous Shaligram is now being used as gravel due to river exploitation. Water sources have dried up due to human encroachment on the river.

To solve this problem and give a message of water resource conservation, work has begun on the construction of a 'World Peace Urn' in Panchakot, Baglung. The campaign was started a decade ago. However, due to lack of funds, the construction could not gain momentum. The construction of a 151-foot-tall urn, including the foundation and seat of the urn, has begun in Panchakot.

Under the leadership of Kamalanayanacharya, who was born in Baglung-6 and gained fame in various places in India, the number of donors joining the construction of the urn is increasing. ‘The Kalash will become a religious and tourist attraction, we will give a message of preserving water resources and water civilization through this Kalash,’ said Kamalanayanacharya, ‘The goal is to give a message of preserving peace and water civilization to the world through the World Peace Kalash.’ Work on the first floor is currently underway.  A 151-foot tall urn is being built in Panchakot

More than 2 billion rupees are being built in Panchakot, where the foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister Sushil Koirala in 2071 BS. Ganesh in the South Indian style, Gandaki Tara Mahalaxmi temple, Hanuman statue, 5,555 kg Mahaghanta, Gaushala, Garun Shila, Sis Mahal, footpath, and a hall for holding programs have been built.  Baglung Municipality has already built a program venue with a stage and kitchen with an investment of 40 million rupees in the fiscal year 2080/81 through the Federal Equalization Program and 50 million rupees in the fiscal year 2081/082. 

Anand Rajbhandari of Baglung-3 has also built an attractive gate by spending Rs 3.5 million. Donors and individuals have supported most of the work of this place. Most of the structures have been built with donations given by the locals by holding a Mahayagya every year. Panchakot was named after combining ‘Tarajalkot’, ‘Karikot’, ‘Majhakot’, ‘Rayaraikot’ and Sanbarat in an integrated plan.

Sanbarat is at an altitude of 2,500 meters. Most of the geography of Baglung, Parbat and Myagdi can be seen from here. Since Panchakot is also a religious area where the Dhaulagiri Himal can be seen, hundreds of tourists have started reaching here daily. Chairman Jagannath Acharya said that if the plan as per the target set by the Panchakot Development Council is completed, thousands of tourists will reach here daily and the message of water resources conservation can be spread all over the world.
