The story goes that the king wanted to make a Shiva temple and have the deity installed on the second floor. One night in his dreams, Krishna came and asked him to make a Krishna temple. So he decided to have Radha & Krishna on the first floor. All the Desa Avatar of Vishnu are sculptured around on the same floor.

Spiritual place in Kathmandu Durbar Square where locals visit more often. Attractive place around Durbar Square due to people busy taking pictures with large number of pigeons. This place is often crowded with locals and tourists. Offers different vibe around it.

Jagannath Temple is one of the oldest structures in Durbar Square. The temple has a three-tiered platform and two storeys. This temple has survived the earthquake but there are worrying cracks in the upper-storey brickwork. There is a big platform near Jagannath temple which is full of pigeons. People buy grains (for 20 rs or so) and feed grains to the pigeons which is a big attraction for everybody.

Was heading towards another temple. It looked really beautiful, had to take some pictures. Also met a group of musicians playing for a cancer patient

Jagannath Temple, located in the very famous Kathmandu Darbar Square, is most famous for its architecture and religious significance. One thing that draws tourists in large numbers is the exquisite erotic carving all over the structure. It was built in the early 16th century during the reign of King Mahendra of the Mala dynasty and is one of the oldest shrines in the city. From what remains now, one can get a gist of how fascinating the structure would have been. It is a two-storey building raised over a platform and built in the traditional pagoda-style architecture mostly made of wood and bricks. Some parts of the temple were damaged in an earthquake in 2015. However, some portions have been restored and open for the tourists to explore.

I like this god's temples.

It is one of the oldest and important structures in the Durbar Square. It has survived the 2015 earthquake but has many cracks in the upper-storey brickwork. There is a big platform near the temple which is full of pigeons. People buy grains (for 20rs) and feed the pigeons which is a nice fun activity for everyone.

Erotic sculptures ward off thunder strike.
