    Maitidevi Temple or Maitidevi Pancha Kumari Temple is Licchavi Era Temple. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, devotees flock here. Devotees believe that what they desire will be fulfilled when they visit here.The temple complex is spacious. It is crowded during Dashain (navaratri) periods. This single tiered pagoda style looks very beautiful. The gold plated roof enhances the beauty of the temple.

    The temple is composed in a pagoda style . "Maitidevi" deity , the goddess is worshipped with great importance. Visit to religious places opens your valuable aspect of existence. They have shops nearby, from flowershops to small tea stalls after you're done with puja, but the parking space is roadside. Location📍: Maitidevi, Kathmandu Ambience: Holy Availability❓ : Hindu Goddess for worshipping Recommended : yes Parking🛑: Roadside Parking

    A small beautiful temple of Panjakumari Metidevi. The area is small but it is beautiful and will give you a cool and calm atmosphere. Mostly ladieas use to visit the temple to fulfill their wishes. No entry fee is there. You can visit directly. Beware of pegions. They will make your cloths and body covered in white cream. Metal sculptures are placed around the temple. Limited parking area and not that much clean.

    Maitidevi Temple holds a special place in my heart as a cherished site of devotion and spirituality. This sacred Hindu temple, dedicated to the revered Hindu goddess Maitidevi (Mata), offers a profoundly spiritual experience and a deep connection with the divine feminine. Nestled amidst serene surroundings, Maitidevi Temple emanates a sense of tranquility and serenity. The temple's architecture is beautiful and captivating, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Hindu traditions. Its vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and sacred symbols create an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and soothing. As a devotee, I have found solace and strength in the presence of Maitidevi, the divine mother. The temple provides a sacred space for prayers, offerings, and contemplation. It is a place where devotees can seek blessings, find inner peace, and connect with the spiritual essence of the goddess.

    It's a beautiful holy temple situated in the center of the city. The architecture of the temple is excellent. During the festivals, it is mostly crowded and on normal days it's good to visit and get blessed. The temple is very well managed and decorated for the visitors. It has a small hall for devotional musical programs where old people and other devotees gather to sing and enjoy. The art and craft seen on the wood and metal is really fantastic and wonderful. It looks different and awesome. Metal works and wooden works on the roof shade and the doors seems the real images. Two lions in action are placed there guarding the temple from each sides. The metallic plates are touched with golden color which enhances the beauty of the temple.

    Maitidevi Bhagwati Temple is located between Dilli Bazaar and Gyaneshwar. This temple has been worshipped and taken care of by the Vajracharyas of the Newar community for generations. They are known as the caretaker and guardian of the temple as well as the priest of this temple. The temple is believed to have been established in 685 BCE during the reign of Amshuverma. For years, morning and evening worship and hymns have been performed in the temple. The locals and priests have taken charge of the worship and other cultural activities here. During Dashain, this temple is decorated with many lights and the premises are made very beautiful and pleasant. According to legend, in ancient times, the Pancha Kanyas flew from the sky to Maita. As one of the tantriks, who used to graze goats, forced these goddesses to stay here by his tantra power for the defense of the country. Since then, this temple has been called Maiti Devi as the mother of all three Pancha Devi. According to another legend, while digging a field on the bank of Rudramati (now Dhobi Khola, which flows northeast of the temple), Munikar (Farmer) found a stone (Sheila). The farmer tried a thousand times to move it but could not. At that time, the peacock’s feathers woke up the farmer while the Panchkumaris were walking on the peacock from the sky. He then told the goddesses about the pain he had suffered. After telling his story to the Pancha Kumaris, the goddess became happy and stayed there. That is why some even called this temple as Mayurtirtha.
