Cultural Losses In Nepal From The Kathmandu Earthquake

Some of Nepal’s internationally recognized monuments, many of which had been preserved for centuries, were destroyed in the earthquake. However, hope remains, and Nepal’s shattered heritage sites can be rebuilt. But for the time being the destruction sparks a sense of irreplaceable visual and spiritual loss.

On 25 April, 2015, a deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake broke near Nepal’s capital of Kathmandu. The valley surrounding the city is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its historic monuments, temples, and stupas. Professor Madhab Gautam of Tribhuvan University says, “Kathmandu was a city of temples. Now it is a city of tents.” The Kathmandu valley lies at a historic crossroads of Asian trade routes, religion, and cultures. The monuments are internationally recognized as having unique importance, mixing Indian and Tibetan styles with Hindu and Buddhist iconography. Nepal is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, including three royal cities, several Hindu and Buddhist sites within the Kathmandu Valley, and Lumbini – the legendary birthplace of Buddha. All of these iconic sites were affected by the quake.
