The US has provided Nepal a financial assistance of USD 100,000 for the restoration of a 16th century Hindu temple which was badly damaged in the 2015 earthquake that jolted the Himalayan nation.
"Built in 1566, the temple demonstrates a significant and highly-developed expression of Newari architecture,” according to a statement issued by the embassy.
“Our work through the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation serves as a symbol of the strong, vibrant partnership between our nations, as well as our respect for Nepal’s diverse and rich heritage,” said Ambassador Teplitz.
