Situated at the bottom of the Shivapuri Mountain, 8km from the capital
reclining on the coils of a cosmic 11 hoofed serpents over a natural
spring is a five meter big carving of Lord Bishnu. As the legend goes,
it is believed that the statue was discovered by a farmer ploughing his
field who accidently cut of a thumb from the sculpture and it started
bleeding. The Royals were restricted from viewing it for some divine
power preventing it to happen every time they attempted. And it was said
that the King would die instantly if he ever tried viewing it. Thus, a
small replica of the sculpture was made in Balaju for the Royal Family.
