Damauli, Sept 8 (RSS): Reconstruction of a historical and religious Alakadevi Temple at Kilchowk of Myagde rural municipality-3 in Tahanu district has reached the final stage. The reconstruction task was begun since June 1 early this year. Temple reconstruction committee coordinator Rambhakta Ghimire informed that preparation was on to inaugurate the Temple in Dashain. Four among six stories of the temple have been built, he said, adding that the activities are intensified in a way the reconstruction would be ready before the Dashain festival. The Alakadevi Temple reflects the model of Santaneshwor Temple of Laltipur district. Although committee had estimated Rs 6.3 million for the reconstruction, it would take more because of some change in temple's design. According to Ghimire, Myagde rural municipality had committed to providing Rs 4 million as assistance. The temple will have copper roof and tundals (special wood carving) on its windows and doors. The religious shrine will be as high was 32 feet. Temple management committee chairman Min Bahadur Baraimagar informed that the temple premises can be used for prayers and as picnic spot as well.
