- Smriti Shrestha Collection
- Scope & Content:
-
This collection has a very interesting story. It was recovered by a student of Buddhism who after the devastating earthquake of 2015 in Nepal made survey of Buddhist Viharas in Thimi, a small medieval Newar town in Bhaktapur district. In the mound of debris of an abandoned Vihara, she saw some pages of manuscripts and recovered some texts afterwards. But they were in very bad condition. It has a stotra, a book of astrology and mathematics.
