The original shrine of Kwapa Dyah is seen before the installation of the repatriated stone Buddha statue, while a replica of the idol is seen on the right after being removed during the ritual at Nhuchhe Baha (Bajradhatu Vihar) in Jor Ganesh, Ombahal, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 1, 2026, on the occasion of the 2570th Buddha Jayanti. The Vajradhatu Buddha statue, significant both archaeologically and religiously, was stolen in the past and later appeared at the Tibet House Collection in New York, United States, before being repatriated to Nepal around four years ago. It was preserved at the Chhauni National Museum through coordinated efforts of the Department of Archaeology, heritage activists, and related institutions. Following legal procedures under the Ancient Monument Preservation Act 2013 (Section 20A), the original statue has now been formally returned to its original guthi custodians.
