KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City has started the reconstruction of Ga: Hiti, a historic stone water spout located in Ward 26, under the supervision of its Heritage and Tourism Department.
The water spout, which holds deep historical and cultural significance, had fallen into severe disrepair. Reconstruction work is now being carried out to restore it in its original form, led by a local consumer committee.
The Thamel Ga: Hiti Family Consumers’ Committee is overseeing the restoration, which involves the use of traditional terracotta bricks for flooring and detailed woodwork and painting to maintain its authentic architectural style.
The total project budget, excluding VAT and overhead, is Rs 7.33 million.
