Chiva at Makhan was without Gaju, Gaju, the top most pinnacle part was broken/lost. After request from local resident, Chiva Chaitya Organization fitted the Gaju and made the Chiva complete again. It is to be noted that it takes skilled stone carvers to carve the essential carvings on the Gaju, They need to have the knowledge about symbols and also their positioning. We want to thank local residents Suresh Tamrakar Dai and ChandraBir Tuladhar Dai for support.
