The Brahma Temple located at Jayabageshwori, Gayatri Marg, Kathmandu Metropolitan City-8, has been reconstructed and inaugurated today after excavation. The temple was inaugurated today by Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah (Balen). Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol said that the revival of the figures, statues and artworks that are the life of the ancient monument will contribute to restoring the identity of the cultural city.
He said, 'Wherever the idol is worshipped, the idol should be kept there. We have taken this forward as a campaign.' This temple had been lost for more than 100 years.
According to Ashaman Sangat, ward chairman of KMC-8 and coordinator of the Heritage and Tourism Committee, the temple had been in ruins before 1990. After this, there was only a bush. The temple was excavated with the help of the Department of Archaeology and its antiquity was studied.
Sangat said, 'From the study, it is estimated that the temple was built between the sixth and seventh centuries. Since documents related to the structure and nature of the temple were not found, the temple was reconstructed by archaeologists based on the shape of the foundation and the construction materials used.'
The statue of Chaturmukh Brahma inside the temple, which is under the protection of the police, was taken to the temple on a chariot on the site given by the Panchanga Nirikh Samiti on the site of Kartik 17. According to architect Gaurav Shrestha, the temple was reconstructed at a cost of Rs 11.1245 million.
The temple was built by raising the platform five feet above the road. The temple, which was reconstructed using clay, bricks and wood, is a two-story pagoda style with a height of 23.5 feet. A three-foot-tall gajur is placed on the top of the temple. The foundation stone and foundation worship were performed for the construction of the temple in 2081 BS.
According to cultural expert Mukundaraj Baidya, the revival of the Brahma Temple has also helped restore the antiquity of the Gwala region.
