Summary
editDescriptionGa Hiti Bhimsenthan Kathmandu, Nepal Rajesh Dhungana 1.jpg |
English: Ga Hiti is located near the Bhimsen Temple in Kathmandu which is also known as the Philanthropy Toll or Bhimsen Toll. It is located near the Hiti or Dhungedhar Bhimsen temple. The locals bathe in this stone fountain, wash their clothes and use the water for drinking.
A dhunge dhara or hiti (Newari) is a traditional stone drinking fountain found in Nepal. It is an intricately carved stone waterway through which water flows uninterrupted from underground sources. Dhunge dharas are part of a comprehensive drinking water supply system, commissioned by various rulers of Ancient and Medieval Nepal. The system is supported by numerous ponds and canals that form an elaborate network of water bodies, created as a water resource during the dry season and to help alleviate the water pressure caused by the monsoon rains. After the introduction of modern, piped water systems, starting in the late 19th century, this old system has fallen into disrepair and some parts of it are lost forever. Nevertheless, many people of Nepal still rely on the old hitis on a daily basis. |
