    In the vicinity & left side of the temple of goddess Kumari stands a temple Trilokya Mohan. It is the oldest temple in the group adjacent to the south-west corner of the palace. This temple stands on the high rise 5th plinth made of red brick. This three-storied Shikhar style temple dedicated to Sri Vishnu was built in 1680 by the son of Pratap Mall , king Parthivendra Malla (1680 - 1687- r 7 years) . In this Trailokyamohan Narayan temple, the dance of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu is performed for 8 days from the start of Indra Jatra to its end. Daly during the night ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu are shown, in addition ten different scenes related to Ramayana, Mahabharata and Devi Mahatmya are also shown every day for eight days. The Jatra of Rato Matsyendranath in Lalitpur, Bisket in Bhaktapur and Indrajatra in Kathmandu are the main ones. Dances depicting the 10 incarnations of Vishnu are performed on the platforms to the east of the temple during the Indra Jatra festival because this temple is locally known as Das Avatar Deval. In front of the western entrance of the temple the statue of Garuda is placed. This garuda murti with folded hands was built by Rajmata Riddhilakshmi . The statue of garuda has its own importance as it shows the culture and tradition of the Lichchhavi period. This statue is the replica of the statue at NarayanHiti Narayani Sthan.

    Beauty of Kathmandu Trailokya Mohan Narayan Temple at Kathmandu Durbar Square (Nepal) The small three-storied Trailokya Mohan Narayan Temple, built in 1680 by Prithvi Bendra Malla, is the oldest temple in the group adjacent to the south-west corner of the palace. Although badly damaged in the 1934 earthquake it was possible to rebuild it using mainly original parts. Among them were the carved timber roof struts portraying the incarnations of Vishnu. The figure of Garuda - a faithful copy of the 8th c. Garuda in Narayanhiti - was placed in front of the temple in 1690. An inscription records it was erected by Riddhi Lakshmi, widow of King Bhupalendra, his son Bhupalendra (still a minor) and the then Prime Minister Lakshmi Narayan Joshi In the vicinity & left side of the temple of goddess Kumari stands a temple Trilokya Mohan.

    This small five-roofed temple dating from 1680 was completely destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. All that remains is the fine Garuda kneeling before it, added later by King Prithvibendra Malla’s widow soon after his death. The temple was dedicated to Narayan/Vishnu and featured Vaishnavite images on the carved roof struts and window screens with decoratively carved medallions. Dances depicting the 10 incarnations of Vishnu are performed on the platforms to the east of the temple during the Indra Jatra festival.
