Chiva Chaitya Organization organizes Photo Exhibitions related to Hiti System of Kathamandu Valley. Even today in modern days Hiti system is relevant not only in terms of Water but, because of it's archaeological, historical, touristic and cultural importance. Recognizing this fact CCO(Chiva Chaitya Organization) organized a photo exhibition which included various aspects of Hiti system including architectural, how system works, it's importance in providing water, cultural significance and so on.

The exhibition was held at Basantapur Durbar Region, A WHS in Kathmandu. More than 500 people both domestic and international, students, youths, various professionals visited the photo exhibition and thus many got information and learned importance of the Hiti system.

"The Hiti System of Kathmandu Valley holds paramount importance as a traditional water supply network that has been sustaining the valley's inhabitants for centuries. These ancient stone spouts, known as hitis, have not only provided a reliable source of clean water for daily needs but also played a significant role in shaping the cultural and social fabric of the region. Preserving and maintaining this unique system is vital not only for its historical significance but also for ensuring the continued access to water for future generations, as it reflects the valley's rich heritage and the ingenuity of its ancestors in managing water resources."

We would like to thank Hanmandhoka Durbar Kshetra Karyakram, Kathmandu Municipality for providing the necessary space at Basantapur. Special appreciation goes to WMF(World Monuments Fund) for supporting us to conduct this event.
