Advanced technology is transforming archaeological conservation in Lumbini

During a four-week training last month, a team of archaeologists conserved 100 historical objects discovered within the Lumbini area.

Dressed in a spotless white apron, trainee Chandra Prakash Pathak kept his gaze firmly fixed on the ancient artefact resting on the table before him. In the field of archaeological conservation, people have to be extremely careful when handling ancient objects, and even a simple mistake or moment of distraction can permanently alter or destroy the authentic form. Pathak stood motionless, fully absorbed in his work.
