The Maitighar Mandala, Fibwa-Khya (Nepali: माइतीघर मण्डला, Nepal Bhasa: फिब्वःख्यः) is a symbolic monument located in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal. It is an island at the intersection of roads from Thapathali, New Baneshwor, Bhadrakali and at the southeast corner of Singhadurbar, the administrative centre of Nepal. It forms an important landmark in the beautification of Kathmandu city and a master piece of art depicting Buddhist relics. It also marks the initiation mark stone of one of the major highways of Nepal, Araniko Highway, that links Nepal with China. The Mandala was built in 2001 for the 11th SAARC summit in Nepal to showcase Nepali culture after clearing many multi-storey buildings.[1] The Mandala was designed to be in the form of a series of concentric circles. The outer-most has 32 vajras, the one next to it has 16 lotus petals and the inner has 32 garlands. Various colors on the Mandala (blue background, black, orange, and blue circles) symbolize man's characteristics - too much of one would result in an imbalanced temperament. Black stands for क्रोध (anger), orange for माया (love) and blue for करूणा (compassion). At the four corners of the mandala are symbols of the ashtamangal.[2] By 2010, however, the Mandala artwork fell into disrepair. In 2011, the Agriculture Development Bank, Nepal pledged to devote resources to restore the Mandala.[3] The Mandala got a face-lift for the 18th SAARC summit[4] along with the overall enhancement of roads in Kathmandu. During the Nepalese Civil War, peace advocates gathered at the Mandala to show solidarity for peace and against violence.[2] Despite the government declaring the Mandala a protest-free-site,[5][6] it continues to be one of Kathmandu's most common venues for rallies, peace vigils, protests and demonstrations.[7][8] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Maitighar Mandala to regain its lost charm|url=http://www.toolsofthetrade.net/industry-news.asp?sectionID=26&articleID=1595394|newspaper=The Hindustan Times|accessdate=3 July 2011|date=22 Jun 2011}} {{coord missing|Nepal}}2. ^1 {{cite news|last=Phoboo|first=Abha Ali|title=Shanti mandala|url=http://www.wavemag.com.np/issue/article258.html|accessdate=3 July 2011|newspaper=WAVE Magazine|date=Oct 2005}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.ekantipur.com/the-kathmandu-post/2014/10/15/nation/maitighar-decked-up-for-saarc/268572.html|title = maitighar-decked-up-for-saarc|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = }} 4. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.ekantipur.com/the-kathmandu-post/2014/10/15/nation/maitighar-decked-up-for-saarc/268572.html|title = Maitighar decked up for Saarc|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = Kathmandu Post|last = |first = }} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://kathmandupost.ekantipur.com/news/2018-06-29/maitighar-mandala-will-be-protest-free-zone.html|title=‘Maitighar Mandala will be protest free zone’|access-date=2018-09-13|language=en}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/kathmandu/supreme-court-stay-on-ban-on-protest-at-maitighar-to-continue/|title=SC stay on ban on protest at Maitighar to continue - The Himalayan Times|date=2018-07-14|work=The Himalayan Times|access-date=2018-09-13|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/kathmandu/police-intervene-semi-nude-protest-in-pictures/|title=Police intervene semi-nude protest: in pictures - The Himalayan Times|date=2018-08-18|work=The Himalayan Times|access-date=2018-09-13|language=en-US}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/docs-to-shut-down-all-services-except-emergency-on-sunday/|title=Docs to shut down all services except emergency on Sunday|date=2018-08-31|work=The Himalayan Times|access-date=2018-09-13|language=en-US}} 3 : Buildings and structures in Kathmandu|Tourist attractions in Kathmandu|Monuments and memorials in Nepal |
