The historical Patan Palace area listed in the World Heritage List has become more attractive and beautiful. After the Lalitpur Metropolitan Corporation removed the old Chinese bricks and laid Raithane Telya bricks in this area, it has become beautiful and clean reflecting the originality of the heritage.
The Metropolitan Corporation has completed the work of removing the old Chinese bricks and laying locally produced Raithane 'Telya' bricks at a cost of Rs. This brick is a traditional type of brick used since ancient times, which is considered strong, durable and beautiful.
According to Chiribabu Maharjan, the head of Lalitpur Metropolitan Municipality, "Telya brick is Raithane brick, it is very bright and strong. Since the old brick is not working, we have laid new Telya brick for heritage protection."
According to Maharjan, the mayor, Chinese bricks were laid during the coronation of the then King Birendra Shah, which had deteriorated over time. The same brick has been removed and now oiled brick has been placed, which does not allow water to freeze and looks clean. After laying the bricks, the surface of the heritage area has also become about four inches higher.
Upendra Kumar Shrestha, a local, has responded that the Metropolitan Corporation has done very positive work. "Due to the old bricks, the Patan Darbar area used to look dirty", he says, "Now it looks very bright and clean. It is easy to clean, there is no problem of water stagnation. It has been done very well."
It seems that the metropolis is trying to increase the tourist attraction along with the preservation of historical heritage through this kind of work. The metropolis, which is continuing to repair and rebuild the palace area, has committed to preserve the originality of this area in the future as well.
