Madi : The head of a Goman snake can be seen in the historical Dev Dhunga in Madi Municipality Ward No. 4 of Sankhuwasabha. Earlier, this stone was just a rock. But now everyone looks like a goman snake, said Tika Subedi, a member of the Dev Dhunga Divya Darshan Dham Conservation Committee.

Earlier, the shape of the stone was similar to that of a Goman snake but it could not be identified, said Subedi. But when the Goman snake-like figure was identified, the discussion of Dev Dhunga started, he said.Madi

Waiting
Towers and temples built in and around Dev Dhunga have been built for public trust and beauty. But due to lack of publicity, the area has been overshadowed, said local Subash Dahal. He said that it would have been better if the ward and the city had taken initiative to attract internal and external tourists even though the area was a tourist area. Madi

Last July, a team of Lal Kaji Lamas, head of the sculpture department at the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, conducted a feasibility study in the area. This year, with the investment and partnership of the local government, there is a plan to build a full-sized 40-foot-tall idol of Lord Shiva, said Lal Kaji Lama.
