6. If you are given an opportunity to enlist any National Heritage Site of Nepal in World Heritage Site, which one site will you enlist and why?
If i got the opportunity to enlist any national heritage site of Nepal, i would choose Janaki Temple because this site has all the economic, social and cultural importance. This temple is also an example of religious tolerance as this is buitlt by a Muslim architect where hindus pray as well as Muslim recite Namaz. 9 lakh rupees was spent for its construction.This site is really helpful for our tourism sector as well. It is the biggest temple of entire Nepal. Talking about the cultural importance, it is the place where Goddess Sita was born.So, i would choose Janaki temple.
