The Nepal earthquake in April 2015 was not unexpected, however the prevention measures were not enough to avoid the catastrophe. Due to weaker infrastructures, the people and construction in the old districts have suffered the most; thus military, police force, and Nepali citizen have come together to rebuild their streets and monuments. With support from the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the Harishankara Temple in Patan has been under reconstruction since June 2015. International aid is helping the rebuilding of the country, but with provisional support measures in place, life goes must go on. Maintaining the traditional architecture while also building a stronger structure to withhold future earthquakes is the goal and struggle of this project.
