and ascetics, throng the temple to have a Darshan (glimpse) of the sacred Shiva lingam.
Guheswori Temple
It is one of the famous Shakti Peeths in Nepal and is located on the banks of the Bagmati
River near the Pashupatinath Temple. Here too, non-Hindus are denied entry. The

left bank of the river Bagmati.
Guheswori Lord Shiva’s consort, is regarded the source of strength of all living beings.
Wherever those body parts fell, a Shakti Peeths originated, and the Mother Goddess in
her manifestation as the consort of Lord Shiva came to stay there. Gods, sages and
celestial beings came to the Shakti Peeths to do penance or offer worship to the
goddess (Ishwari), and thus these spots became holy places. It was at this spot that the
Guhya (anal portion) of the corpse fell, and hence this place came to be known as
Guheswori.

reclining on a bed of snakes in the middle of a pond. The five-meter long granite image
carved out of a single rock dates back to the Lichchhavi period. According to folklore, a
farmer was ploughing his field one day when his plough struck a boulder, and to his
surprise and alarm; blood started oozing out of the cut in the stone. Upon digging
around the huge boulder, he unearthed the magnificent image of the reclining Vishnu
that had remained buried in the ground. A big mela (fair) is held at Budhanilkantha on
