The Harishankara temple dominated the main square in Patan until the Nepal earthquake in April 2015 caused it to collapse. Using the remains and past pictures of the monument, its reconstruction started in June 2015. This rehabilitation is not only essential for its historical importance, but also for the town’s residents. Due to its complex reconstruction, the task has brought the community together: from locating the broken pieces in the rubble, to the delicate carving of the missing objects and the rebuilding of the architectural foundation. Such immediate and accurate reconstruction is only possible because of the dynasties of craftsman: an immaterial legacy inexistent in the West. All this hard and communal efforts will finally be seen in the reopening of the temple in the spring of 2019.
