Beschreibung:
The 15th and final episode of the series now presents the manuscript collection of the Bhatta family at Changu Narayan, an ancient Hindu temple that is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The oldest manuscripts of this collection date back to approximately the 17th century, others date from the period up to the 20th century. The Bhatta Family Manuscript Collection is of great value not only in the context of Nepalese history and culture, but also for Central Asian and South Asian culture at large. In the course of the project, more than 140 manuscripts containing both religious and non-religious texts and more than 50 handwritten paper artefacts have been cleaned and are now kept in customised acid-free E-Flute phase boxes.
