Info

Patan, 31 March 2016 Inventory of the four god-windows: The windows (1 to 4, clockwise) need minor restauration effort. The carved gods looking outside the openings have been lost. Windows The four god-windows (Nev. dyaḥjhyāḥ) of the northern, eastern, southern and western side of South Manimaṇḍapa were reassembled after the earthquake, with three of them in a fragmented state. The fragments of the intricately carved wooden windows of the knee walls were examined by Tirtha Ram Shilpakar and Bijay Basukala, who also measured them in order to make drawings; a rough sketch and highlights mark the window elements that are to be renewed because they are lost, damaged or rotten. The windows needed a minor restoration effort, which was completed by the end of April 2016. Interestingly, all four of these early 15th-century windows testify to the reuse of decorative timber columns: Reminicent of the design of the four inner columns of South Manimaṇḍapa, the decorative upper parts of the columns reused for the four window sills may date from the 11th to 15th centuries. The loss of the busts of deities that looked outside the window openings are a conservation challenge; as there is no documentary evidence, the gods cannot be replaced. This means that the window openings’ original purpose is lost, and that in this regard they have lost their meaning. 302
Top left The fragments of the four intricately carved wooden god-windows (Nev. dyaḥjhyāḥ) were roughly sketched by Bijay Basukala. The highlighted parts of window No. 1 mark the elements that have to be replaced. Patan, 31 March 2016 Top right Pushpa Raj Shilpakar copies the design of a sill that divides the opening of the window because it got lost due to the earthquake. Patan, 2016 Middle left Prem Shilpakar copies the counterpart of the colonnette of window No. 1 which is deteriorated and will be replaced. Patan, 10 April 2016 Middle right Machaman Shilpakar recarves two different replacements (one for the broken shaft of a colonnette and one for the lower part of another colonnette) on one piece that will be divided in the end. Patan, 10 April 2016 Bottom Like the window sill of window Nr. 1, all four early 18th century windows testify to the reuse of decorative timber columns for the window sills. Patan, 31 March 2016 303
