Jal Binayak Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:40:27

Built in 1602, Jal Binayak Temple is one of the valley’s most important Ganesh shrines. The temple’s three-tiered roof struts depict eight Bhairabs and the eight Ashta Matrikas (Mother Goddesses) with whom Ganesh often appears. There is some damage from the 2015 earthquake but the mandir offers scenic views from the base of the gorge, with plenty of birdlife about. The temple is accessed from a car park off the main road and is a 10-minute walk downhill from the village itself. You can cut down through the Manjushree Park.
