Patan’s Bhimsen Temple, weakened by 2015 quake, has been restored and consecrated today. The larger Bhaidega (Shiva/Vishwnath) temple nearby fell during 1934 mega quake. It’s reconstruction, started 5 years ago, is going slow due to high costs and low funds.

Who Looted Nepal's God?
Is the focus on antiquities in museums in the West detracting from role of Nepalis who stole and sold them?

Had a fruitful discussion with the rep. of the Art Gallery of NSW about the safe return of wooden sculpture, which was received by the Gallery as a gift in 2000, but it was identified to have been stolen from Nepal. They are ready to return this to its rightful place in Nepal.

When homeland security agents uncovered the ~900 Malian artifacts, they were in a shipping container that had traces of blood and fecal matter inside. My story for @nytimesarts

[Roshan Mishra @r0shanmishra]

After the @nytimes article, @NHRCampaign is receiving lots of enquiries from private collectors and individuals.
Many of them are looking to return the Nepali heritage objects.
Thank you, @ZacharyHSmall

It's not the museums and it's not necessarily the governments who are leading repatriation efforts. It's the people.

Our deep dive into the anatomy of a return, starting with Nepal's stolen gods.
