The history of the Khas state is in crisis

 Due to the lack of protection, the civilization of the Khas state in the Jumla Sinja Valley and the palace area of ​​the Khas state could not be protected, which has led to the trapping of some facts of history. Due to the lack of proper protection and excavation, history has reached a state of no return.


The Sinja Valley of Jumla is considered to be the birthplace of the Nepali language. Therefore, the Sinja civilization has a special significance in Nepali society, but now the existence and importance of the same valley is in crisis.


According to local Pavitra Kumar Shahi, the ancient monasteries, temples, caves, shrines, tigers, tigers, customs and rituals in the Sinja Valley are being destroyed due to lack of protection. "Sinja civilization has a special significance in Nepali society," he said, adding that "tourist areas are being destroyed due to lack of protection."


The origin of the Nepali language is the Sinja Kankasundari Temple, Pandava Cave, Budhu Mashta, Kankasundari Naidhara Temple, Virat Durbar, Nakhya Dula, Hangra Devta Temple, Lekpar Lama Temple, Mahadev Temple of Batamali and more than three dozen small and large deities in the Sinja Valley. Local Amar Bahadur Shahi said that it was dilapidated. "The traces of ancient civilization are disappearing," he said.


Similarly, it has become difficult to find the remains of the Pandava cave and the huge palace where the five brothers lived. Engineer Naresh Dutta Rawal of Jumla said that the temples built during the Khas rule, Sinja, Sihu Bagh, large stone carvings, inscriptions with inscriptions and numbers are now in a state of disrepair in the fields and hillsides. "The history of the Khas state in Jumla has been erased," he said, adding that "no one has taken the initiative to preserve it."


Similarly, five idols have been found while digging for a dharamshala on the east side near the famous Kankasundari temple. The old stone idols were found while constructing a dharamshala for the devotees with the investment of Karnali Tourism Promotion and Development Committee. Of the five idols, three are large and two are small, including idols of Vishnu, Jalafa Devi, Shiva, Lakshmi and Sandhe. The place where the idol was found is believed to have been the palace of the Khas king.


Chairman of the Karnali Tourism Promotion and Development Committee, Nara Bahadur Rawat, said that protection, museum, excavation and protection of important places in the Sinja region including the Kankasundari temple are necessary. "Important places have not been protected," he said. "Historic places have not been protected."


Secretary of the committee Tara Jung Hamal said that the 300-year-old idols were found during the construction of a dharamshala in the Kankasundari temple area. "Excavations are needed in the temple area and in the area where the palace of the Khas kingdom is located," he said.


Various religious-cultural, costumes and caves, temples, panchebajals in Karnali are also awaiting protection. However, the locals are worried that the concerned bodies have not paid much attention to the protection of such archeological properties and heritage. The locals say that the historical heritage can be preserved if the state becomes serious about it.
