Since then, it has not been opened to the public because of a case filed in the Supreme Court (SC) over the replacement of its old idols. The Supreme Court (SC) on January 18 had ordered that the new idols not be installed in the iconic structure. A heritage activist had filed the case at the SC demanding placement of original ancient idol of Gorakhnath with other four corner idols in the newly constructed Kasthamandap.
