4.Read the text below and do the activities that follow
In the centre of Kathmandu city lies a big open ground called Tudikhel. On the
southwest tip of Tudikhel there is a big tower. It is called Bhimsen Stambha or Bhimsen
tower. But it is known as Dharahara more commonly.
Bhimsen Tower was built in 1832 AD when Bhimsen Thapa was the Prime Minister of
Nepal. It is 50.2 metres high. It has nine stories. There is a Balcony on the eighth story.
You can get a beautiful view of the city from there. There is staircase with 113 steps
leading to the top of the tower.
Bhimsen Thapa was the first Prime Minister of Nepal. He ordered a tower to be built
near his palace. The tower was 11 stories high. This tower used to be near the present
Dharahara. But we don't see it nowadays. It was destroyed in the earthquake of 1934
AD. Lalit Tripura Sundari was the queen at that time. She also wanted a tower to be
built. She ordered Bhimsen Thapa to build a tower for her too. So Bhimsen Thapa
ordered another tower to be built for her in 1832 AD. This tower had nine stories. It is
the tower that we see today. Both the towers were destroyed by the great earthquake
in 1934 AD. Prime Mini Juddha Shumsher Rana ordered a tower to be rebuilt. That is the
reason why we see only one tower now. No one really knows why these towers were
built. Nepal had just fought a war with
the British at that time. The country did not have much money to spend on towers.
Maybe Bhimsen Thapa wanted to show the might of Nepali Army to the British. Maybe
he wanted to show his power to the people. In Bhimsen Thapa's time it was used as
lookout tower. Soldiers would sound bugles from its balcony
A. Write “T” after true and “F” after false statements: 2
