1. Introduction:
Baitadi district a part of Sudurpaschim Province, is one of the seventy-
Seven districts of Nepal. The district, with Gadi as its headquarters, covers an area of

3
1,519 km2 and has a population of 250,898 according to the census (2011).The Baitadi
district entails Six Rural Municipality and Four municipality. Baitadi falls into the farthest
western regional district of Nepal touching Jhulaghat, India, Nepal's neighboring country, to
its border.

The first impression of Temple Tripura Sundari may render tourist speechless by its cultural
and religious richness. It is one of the most famous temple of far western Nepal, located in
Dasrathchand municipality ward No. 8 of Baitadi district. It is known for its astonishing
architectural beauty, stands as a symbol of faith, religion, culture and tradition. The temple is
constructed in pagoda style and decorated with red colored marble tiles. It is believed that red
color indicate the symbol of goddess Bhagwati. The present pagoda style of the temple came
into existence as a result of renovation by local peoples. It is magnificent piece of art and has
huge potential of tourism within and outside the country. It is situated at top of the hill and on
its base there is small town market or village known as Jhulaghat on the Indo-Nepal border
which is about 4 kilometers away from Tripura Sundari temple .The Mahakali river flows
from East to West along the Indo-Nepal Border creating international boundary. The town is
good business centre for Indian and Nepali people. Indians are attracted to foreign goods
available in shops at Nepal side of Jhulaghat.There are regular bus services from district
headquarter Khalanga and Jhulaghat to Tripura Sundari. Temple is only 3 kilometer away
from district headquarter khalanga.

Tripura Sundari is also known from the name of Ransaini. It is believed that there were seven
sisters of Goddess Bhagwati among which one is Ransaini. Word Ransaini is originated from
two words ‘Ran’ meaning rice husk and ‘Saini’ meaning Bhagwoti. There are seven such
Bhagwati temples in Baitadi representing each sister. There is a myth describing how the
Tripura Sundari Bhagwoti temple came to existence which is associated with ancestors of
Thapas. It is said that Goddess Bhagwati came to dwell here from a place called Rodi inside a
bucket of rice called ‘Dalo’ carried by a poor man. There was an aakaswani and goddess
Bhagwoti settled there. Later on an old Brahmin couple (Pujara) on the way to holy place to
India rests there and goddess Bhagwati came into their dream and told old Brahmin to marry
a daughter of Guru.

Since the Brahmin couple was childless male Brahmin married the daughter of Guru (Chetri)
and settled there. At present Thapas (former Pujaras) being descents of Brahmin are given
majority of rights for the proper management of temples. The name of the village in which
temple lies is Pujaragaun which is given after the former caste of local dwellers. The local
people dwelling in the periphery of temple are divided into several groups known as ‘Rath’.
Rath includes castes Thapas, Mouni, Chand and Gurus. On the special occasions like
Sankranti, Poornima, Dashain, Gaura and Jaat thousands of pilgrims from within and outside
the country come to this temple with great hope of fulfilling their desires and worship
Goddess Bhagwoti. Jaat is the biggest festival celebrated twice a year in the months of Ashar
and karthik.During Jaat thousands of devotees and festive lover from different parts of Nepal
and India gather here to celebrate festival and worship Goddess Bhagwoti. 

4
Hundreds of he-buffalos and thousands of he-goats are sacrificed on these occasions to make
goddess Bhagwoti happy. Jaat is festival celebrated with local musical instruments while
transferring goddess Bhagwati from main temple to branch temple and again back to main
temple popularly know as ‘Sawari’ in local language. This temple is unique piece of art, point
of attraction for worshippers and valuable cultural asset for Nepalese people. Therefore,
Nepal being very rich in cultural heritages it is necessary to disseminate information on such
religious sites for the promotion of tourism, economical development of local people and
promotion of the site.

help in the cost estimate, quantity estimate and during construction of the structure.

7.9. Quantity Estimate:

The technical quantity estimate will be prepared by studying the whole architectural,
structural drawings and other field data recorded in survey time.

8.0. Zoning and Conceptual plan:

Various factors have been taken into consideration for proper zoning and layout of built
space in the site. Initially the schematic zoning is done in the site separating the public,
semi- public and the private zone both in case of horizontal and vertical flow according to
the accessibility and the function of the spaces. The planning starts from the relation to
the site. The site bears the contours levels highly on the Northern and Southern part of it.

12
Hence, planning is done in such a way that the buildins and other infrastructures stands on
the Northern & southern part to extends the space, so that it prevents more cut & fill
process and also shear wall,gabion boxes & stone masonry wall are necessary.

Since the site has a contour difference from one end to the other, it was necessary to
incorporate this feature of the site into the design. As such the spaces have been so
designed such that there is cut and fill required at the site. The contour has also been
advantageous in developing split height sections which creating interesting spaces as
Recreational spaces. By doing so, the attempt to create vertical hierarchy among the
functions of the site has also been assisted.

The front Northern blocks forms a space whose main purpose is to increase interaction,
allowing environment to penetrate into the temple area and extends the temple area on
north and this block used as a guest house & bell house side. As the southern block serves
as a bell house in top floor and store room in oher floor. The building blocks are arranged
parallel to the main building of temple. The use of straight lines was done in order to
avoid the complexity in the planning. The acute angle in design is avoided as much as
possible to avoid chaotic feeling. The side post are provided on the whole boundary of the
temple excluding first gate of temple area. The shear wall is provided on southern part of
temple along the side of building blocks to extends temple area. The CGI sheet roofing is
provided in the top of existing building and join to temple boundary by staircase for
public access. Stone masonry wall is providing on first gate of temple and gabion boxes
are on the north part of temple for protection work. For avoiding traffic access in the
temple area existing bell house, side post, middle gate and other structures dismantling
and recreat those structure by proper designing. The middle gate is the of aesthetic
appearance of the temple so this gate designed as a intraction of tourism and
architect.Other works such as tile in stage, plantation, public sapace construction etc. are
also including In master plan.

The entry from the eastern side is the main axis leading to the site. The parking has been
sited such that there the vehicular and pedestrian areas are distinctly distinguished. The
parking has been provide only on one part i.e., on the northern corner of the eastern gate.
By doing so, there is a certain vehicular area that is enclosed in one corner to avoid
intersection of vehicles within the site. All the parking spaces are surrounded by greenery
such that it controls the pollution emitted by it and hides it from the view. But the parking
area is not sufficient in special day(Jat, Mela) of the temple so the parking area is
necessary to extends.

13
The office spaces planned and the area allocated to each room are as follows:

8.2. Approaches to Design

There are few other factors, which have also been considered while developing the
conceptual plan and the buildings blocks & other infrastructures it hosted. These approaches
are influential to carve out the outcome and to develop a better design. The approaches to
design are as follows.

 Planning for disaster management

 Site responsive design
 Attempt at sustainability
8.2.1. Planning for disaster management:
Disaster management is one of the most important things to be considered while designing in
any project. Thus, the planning aspect of disaster management has also been a key factor
during the design process. The design also focuses on providing ample open spaces that
would serve as a safe area where people could gather in an event of a disaster of any sorts. To
achieve this the staircase is placed nearby the entrance which lead to open space at front
which will help in an event of a disaster of any sorts.

8.2.2. Site responsive design:

Site condition is one of the main factors while designing any building. The design should be
responsive to the site conditions and its climatic factor. To achieve this, the planning is done
in such a way that the orientation of the building creates a welcoming open space at the front
which can be used for public gatherings. The planning and orientation is done in such a way
that maximum structures are oriented in northern and southern for better provision of heat
and light.

8.2.4. Attempt at sustainability:

Sustainable feature nowadays is an important approach in designing building so that a project
doesn’t become a burden to the site and the people around it. Rather it should serve as a
blessing and increase the quality of space. The project has been thus designed to have some
of the sustainable attributes that would make a better building for a cleaner environment. To
achieve this rather than using active methods, focus has been given to passive methods. These
varied methods have been applied where feasible and possible in design of the conceptual
master plan and of the buildings. The approaches are as follows:

 Pedestrian friendly design

 Greenery in site and buildings

14
Pedestrian friendly design:
The conceptual plan has been so developed that it is relatively more pedestrian friendly and
discourages vehicular movement around the main block. The vehicular area has been
provided only in the certain region of the site i.e. at the lower contour of the site to ensure
that there is no vehicular movement in the main area, i.e. hostel area(which is located at
upper contour). Thus, a cleaner more environment friendly space is achieved.

Greenery in the site:

The contour formed by the natural landscape is incorporated to havegreen belt that are
actually good for the building and its occupants in a number of subtle ways and is an
important element in providing a pleasant, tranquil environment where students can study or
relax. The purpose of plants is for not only the aesthetics but also helps in avoiding the heat
island effect that could give rise to unpleasant heat.
