Bungmati

These pictures were taken after June 2015 during my visits to the town.

Bungmati Extents as of 2015


Google Earth View of Bungmati July 2015


Ruins of the Machindranath Temple
(July 2015)
Salvaged Wooden members (Window frames, floor joists etc.)
 and Telia Roof Tiles stacked next to a Chibaha


Supports to the leaning walls and the precarious narrow lanes
For now a dead end
Ruins of a private house inside a courtyard


Access to a private courtyard
Main access to a private courtyard connecting 4 residential dwellings


Newer wooden doors
(Devoid of carving)
 Damaged buildings along its narrow lanes

Make shift access since actual lane sits buried below
the rubble of fallen homes
Hybrid structure badly damaged 

One of the fallen older buildings showing
the weight that was stacked on the attic making it more vulnerable
Most of the damage among older mud-brick buildings was
seen to the be on the Gable end of the building


One of the ponds at the outside of the old town
awaits cleaning
All the rubble has been cleared here.
he Plinth sits clean awaiting reconstruction
