Many ancient hitis in Nepal have disappeared, and some are buried underground. Lalitpur has many hitis that are connected to underground water sources. After the 1934 Nepal–India earthquake, the Tusha Hiti was abandoned. It was restored in 1960. A 2015 report conducted by the Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust noted that the bath was providing clean water in 2009, but after the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the water became polluted.
