Riverbanks hold great significance in the growth of any civilization, carrying deep social, cultural, and religious values, particularly in Hindu society. The project is situated on the Singhiya riverbank in Biratnagar, where there already exists a temple complex comprising several Hindu deities' temples. The complex currently serves both as a place of worship and a social space for visitors, especially during morning and evening hours. In such a context, redeveloping the complex into a much more diverse and interactive landscape that continues to the riverbank would allow people of all ages and cultures to experience a socio-cultural space regardless of their religious beliefs. They can be part of practicing the ancient Hindu culture of Aarati in the evening on the riverbanks, spend time in a calm and meditative environment, or just sit and watch the world go by.

The complex segments outward to the riverbank with planned walkways and pavilions organized throughout the landscape, extending to a series of stepped platforms all the way to the river, serving the function of observation during the evening prayer ritual, Aarati. Open seating arrangements offer multiple privacy buffers at any time of the day, and the steps allow connection to the river, which is intensively used by women on the occasion of Chhath-Parwa, a Hindu festival. Over the course of multiple interactions and observations of the location, many tangible and intangible aspects of the place inspired the process of design and development. One crucial observation that influenced the design was a coherent resemblance of colonnades found in the structure of a Hindu temple and pavilion with the arrangement of trees in a forest, creating a diverse yet unified experience within the same landscape. This idea was followed up by documenting stories, historical events, and significant illustrations representing the context of the place with rich cultural and religious notions, all within wooden posts used in the pavilions. In the current times, one can hardly get to know or observe such heritage in modern architecture.

The Terai region of Nepal is vibrant with colors, which lend a unique identity to various aspects of the community, including food, fashion, and cultural demonstrations. During earlier times, it was a common practice to collect water for multiple purposes in huge clay pots from the rivers. However, such practices are hardly seen today, which directly relates to the pollution of natural water sources. To pay homage to the identities of the place, the landscape includes a Kund, a stepped water collection pit, with clay pots depicting local crafts arranged around the walkways and pavilions. Thoughtfully planned architectural lighting makes the complex lively during the evening event of Aarati and creates a safe and comfortable space for everyone. The major structures are safely setback from the bloodline of the region in case of monsoon flooding, which remains quite common in this region. Almost all the previously inaccessible open spaces are now a part of a larger complex, fully accessible and consisting of native vegetation species planned in abundance to provide a more habitable public space within the temple complex. The landscape also offers flexible spaces for various cultural events, festivals, gatherings, and other authorized events at different times, making it a place for everyone.

The project aims to captivate the governing authorities and the general public regarding public space management and the cleanliness of natural water sources. It reaches out to the larger community of the place in an impactful way.
