About this audio guide
This guide to the Nepalese Peace Pagoda in Brisbane follows the one hundred sixty Nepalese families who hand carved it in the Kathmandu Valley for Expo eighty-eight, and the German architect, Jochen Reier, who had to win their trust before leading the build. You will hear about the mudras and deities cut into the timber, and the months craftsmen spent reassembling it here as the fair's gates opened. Look up at the carved eaves for the closest view of their handiwork.
