REVIVING HISTORY<br />
into rough sketch form. When the real art work<br />
started, nine months had already elapsed and the<br />
carver remained in hectic situation and requested<br />
Ulrich for four more months’ extension. He was<br />
well acquainted with this field and understood the<br />
problem.<br />
GIVING LIFE TO THE STONE<br />
The work went on smoothly after the time period<br />
was extended. Santalal could work patiently. The<br />
work was completed in July 2013 and finally Keshav<br />
Amatya from Kirtipur happened to be on the site.<br />
He advised us to make a sand blasting on the final<br />
product and experimented in another image. The<br />
result was spellbinding and it was decided that the<br />
same technique would be used as final touch to<br />
this Chaitya. The final product looked elegant.<br />
Ulrich inspected the final product and found it<br />
at the height of perfection in stone carving and<br />
transported it to Switzerland where Alain Bordier<br />
received it. It was the generosity of Alain Brodier<br />
that he agreed to pour some of his resources in<br />
Nepal. He ordered the product to be dispatched<br />
by air cargo. Nearly 2000 Kg of stone airlifted to<br />
Switzerland and then consecrated there finally.<br />
As a Nepalese, I could not help being proud.<br />
