Nepali Mandir

History & traditions

Rana Bahadur Shah conceived the shrine during his exile in Kashi. The Kashi portal dates construction under the Nepalese royal family to 1841–1843. Its multi-tiered form and carved wood are a visible link to Kathmandu’s architectural tradition. Pashupatinath is the temple’s Shiva dedication.
