Kathmandu, October 18. On Monday, The Department of Archaeology announced that it is making efforts to recover Nepali artifacts that were illegally traded overseas.
Department’s Director-General, Damodar Gautam told reporters that a team of 25 officers is working with Nepali embassies and foreign museums to track down artifacts smuggled from Nepal.
Gautam also mentioned that identifying idols and paintings is a difficult task. “It’s more difficult to trace the origins of Lord Ganesh idols and Thangka paintings, as many of them come from neighboring India and Tibet.”
