In this Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2016 photo, wooden poles support Changu Narayan, a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, at Changu Village, 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) east of Kathmandu, Nepal. Less than two years after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake damaged the 5th century temple, the community is cleaning up their World Heritage site themselves and British architect John Sanday, who led the World Monuments Fund restoration of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, has taken on the recovery as his pet project. Changu Narayan is believed to be the oldest Hindu place of worship in the country, its wooden walls intricately carved with hundreds of deities, perched atop a steep hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley.
