Dharahara after the earthquake

On 25 April 2015, at 11:56 local time, a massive earthquake of 7.9 magnitude struck Nepal with the epicenter in Gorkha District. Over 8,000 people were killed and injured nearly three times as many. This quake compelled the citizen to live without the three most indispensable needs of our life i.e food, shelter and clothing as thousands of people were made homeless with the entire villages devastated, across many districts of the country.

The earthquake not only affected the Human lives but also brought negative changes in the Historical as well as Cultural Sites too. Centuries - old buildings were destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur districts. It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal - Bihar Earthquake.
