This event is commemorated as the beginning of the epoch of Nepal Sambat. According to ''Bhasa Bamsali'' and ''Rajbhogmala Bamsawali'', in 879, an astrologer from Bhaktapur predicted sand at the confluence of the Bisnumati and Bhadramati rivers would turn into gold if gathered at the right moment. Raja Ananda Malla, the king of Bhaktapur at the time sent out workers to collect the sand, which was seen by Sākhwā, then a local merchant.

On 18 November 1999(2056-08-02 BS), the government declared Sankhadhar Sakhwa as one of the National heroes of Nepal. On 26 October 2003, the Department ...
