It is the most significant Hindu temple of Lord Shiva in the world. It
means the ‘Lord of the Animals’ and is populated by monkeys who live in
harmony with the locals. It is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage
Sites. It is situated in the banks of Bagmati River. It is one of the
Paadal Petra Sthalams (holy abodes of Shiva) on the continent. Only
Hindus are allowed to enter the temple premises while others can only
observe from the other bank of the river. The most thrilling mystery
surrounding the area is of Kali, the biggest sinner who married his own
mother and thus cursed by gods to remain as a stone underneath the
surface. It is believed that the statue rises from the ground as the
sins in the world increase and the world will come to an end once it
fully surfaces.
