Kasthamandap, a landmark cultural monument in Kathmandu that crumbled after the 2015 earthquake, is soon to be inaugurated again with its gajur (pinnacle) already in place. This wide temple is popularly believed to have been built with the wood from just one tree named Kalpavriksha, a mythical tree that would grow back to its glory no matter how many times it was cut down. The reconstruction of the superstructure is now 90 per cent done, with the only outer rafter to be put in place.
