7. These photographs of Dharahara:
Right after the collapse of symbolic tower "Dharahara", most of people are struck with shock. It used to stand like a panoptic tower or more often a tower to observe valley whereas it was gradually being overshadowed with other skyscrapers.
  
Though everyone felt really pathetic about the collapse of dharahara, but some have different views as well.
A columnist Pranaya SJB Rana in The Kathmandu Post opines in his article titled 'The image that stays', "I do not mourn as much the collapse of the Dharahara, that phallic tower once jutting from the ground like a defiant middle finger to its surroundings; it was always ugly."
Stay Strong Nepal

Gaurav.
