LALITPUR, Oct 5 - The historic Sundhara (golden spout) based in Lalitpur got a new lease of life after 10 years. Locals themselves re-constructed and reversed the tap, which ran dry for a long time, to its previous condition.
Among the two Sundharas in the Kathmandu Valley, the water spout in Sundhara of Kathmadu has been running dry and we re-built the other based in Lalitpur thinking that it would meet the same fate of the former one, said a local, Manoj Chipalu.
A programme was organised here today on the occasion of completion of the re-construction the golden tap. Addressing the function, cultural expert Satya Mohan Joshi said water does not come out of golden taps in any country in the world, thus we have to conserve this fundamental tradition.
He lauded the locals' efforts made to preserve the golden tap, built in 13th Century (beginning of Malla rule). Following the renovation, water has been flowing from all four tapes there. The re-construction work was carried out at the cost of Rs 800,000.
