The oldest tantric temple in Patan, Kathmandu was severely damaged during the 2015 earthquake. Himalayan Consensus raised funds for its restoration. The intention was to revive one temple and in turn spark an entire restoration effort in the community. This has succeeded with the entire 'bahal" or courtyard around the temple now under full restoration, creating local jobs and preserving heritage and traditional craft knowledge. The Suleman Temple was unveiled at a ceremony presided over by the community Hindu priest for Himalayan Consensus Board members and speakers at the first Himalayan Consensus Summit. The unveiling of the restored temple occurred on March 17, 2016, just within one year of the earthquake's devastating damage and was the opening event of the Summit.
