It
is
one
of
the
best
place
nearly
to
pashupatinath.
Guhyeshwari
Temple (Nepali: गुह्येश्वरी
मन्दिर),
also
spelled Guheswari or Guhjeshwari,
is
one
of
the
revered
holy
temples
in Kathmandu, Nepal.
This
temple
is
dedicated
to
Guhyeshwari
or
Adi Shakti.
The
temple
is
also
a Shakti
Peetha and
is
about
1 km
east
of Pashupatinath
Temple and
is
located
on
the
southern
bank
of
the Bagmati
River.[1] It
is
said
that
this
temple
is
the
Shakti
chair
of
Pashupatinath
Temple.
It
is
an
important
pilgrimage
destination
for
Hindus,
especially
for
Tantric
worshipers.
King Pratap
Malla built
this
temple
in
the
17th
century.
The
goddess
is
also
called
Guhyekali.The
temple's
name
originates
from
the
Sanskrit
words Guhya (secret,
hidden,
or
cave)
and Ishwari (goddess).
Literally,
the
name
"Guhyeshwari"
stands
for
the
goddess
of
the
cave
(गुफाको
ईश्वरी)
and
the
origin
of
the
name
aligns
with
the
Hindu
legend
of Sati,
her
self-immolation
when
She
turns
into
Adishakti,
the
Goddess
of
cosmic
energy,
at
Daksha
yagna.
In Lalitha
Sahasranama the
707th
name
of
the
Goddess
is
mentioned
as Guhyarupini (The
uncanny
form
of
Goddess
intimates
that
She
is
beyond
human
perception,
and
the
invisible
location
where
She
resides
allows
Her
to
render
justice
impartially.
Another
belief
is
that
it
is
the
secret
16th
syllable
of
the
Shodashi
Mantra)
(LS
137th
verse:
Sarasvati
shastramayi|
Guhaamba
guhyaruupini||).
The
main
stotras
dedicated
to
goddess
are:
1.Guhya
Kali

Stotra,Guhyakali.
2.Gadya

StotramGuhyakali.
3.Mahavajra
