Chiva Chaitya - Respect, Promote, Protect

 Chiva Chaitya Organization conducted study on iconography and identification of deities on a Chiva at Yankuli Bahar, Kathamandu. At Yankuli Bahar, a Chiva features intricate carvings of various deities, including the Panca Buddha, Caturmaharajas, and Bodhisattvas. Additionally, at each of the four corners of the Chiva, there are idols of four distinct deities, each characterized by multiple heads and hands. This study aims to identify these deities by analyzing details such as the objects they hold (Ayudhas), their number of heads and hands, and their specific placements. The insights gained are being applied to the restoration of another Chiva at Wonema Chuka, where similar deities were stolen and now require replacement. Our thanks to community of Wonema Chuka and Yankuli Bahar. Our special appreciation to Dr Naresh Man Bajracharya and Yogendra Ratna Tuladhar for their support in this study.
