Scripts carved in stone - most important part of an archaeological object

Scripts carved in stone - most important part of an archaeological object

It gives history of the Chiva, history of the people who have established the Chiva, year of establishment and so on. The writings(carvings) are usually in bigger space. but in other times they might be in smaller areas or in a separate stone tablet. Due to ignorance of people and indifference towards heritage these important evidence and history are being neglected and damaged knowingly and unknowingly.

चिभाहरुमा हुने सिलापत्र वा चिभामानैं कुंदिएका अक्षरहरुले ईतिहास बताईरहेका हुन्छन र तिनीहरु हाम्रो ईतिहासको अभिन्न अंग हुन। तिनीहरुको संरक्षण गर्नु अत्यन्त जरुरी भईसकेको छ।

This Chiva at Wotu, Kathmandu is with inscriptions which is written in NepalLipi(an indigenous script of Nepal). The scripts give us history of the Chiva. It is established in Year of Nepal 1044. That means this Chiva is 96 years old(currently, we are running year of Nepal 1140). And established by the family of  Sthapits from Guja, Wotu, Kantipur(Kathmandu is called Kantipur at that time).

Following is another example at Wonema Chiva:

The Scipts are written just below the Budhha idols in a narrow strip. As per the carvings in NepalLipi(Scripts of Nepal) it is established in the year 787(353 years ago as of current year of 1140) during the reign of king Pratap Malla.

Many carving are damaged or illegible due to damage due to negligence and indifference. We need understand that these are one of the most valuable evidence of our history.
