Religiously as well as historically important place. 17th century built temple. The murals are one of the main attractions. I visited this place while I was staying at Banepa. Even though the place was crowded, I felt peaceful.

This popular pilgrimage spot is noted for its enormous mural of Bhairab; you may see a sacrifice on feast days. Chandeshwari is one of the many manifestations of Parvati and means 'slayer of Chand', a reference to a demon who once haunted this valley. The Chandeshwori temple complex lies just outside Banepa in the east of the Kathmandu Valley. There is myth that the Chandeshwori temple is the place where the mother goddess (Sati / Parvati and in Banepa known as Chandeshwori) defeated the demon Chanda.

Along Arniko Highway 5 kilometers before Dhulikhel is the town of Banepa, Nepal. One of the attractions of Banepa is the temple of Chandeshwori, located approximately 1 kilometer northeast of the town along the Punya mata River next to Ghokechaur having a length of 0.21 kilometres.

It is believed to have been built in the 17th century. The temple features a mural of Chandeshwori slaying the demon Chanda. The temple also consists of the painting of lord bharava on one of its wall which is the biggest graffiti of the Nepal Mandala.

The Chandeshwori temple complex lies just outside Banepa in the east of the Kathmandu Valley. There is myth that the Chandeshwori temple is the place where the mother goddess (Sati / Parvati and in Banepa known as Chandeshwori) defeated the demon Chanda. The demon was a plague to the world since Shiva gave him a boon that made him unbeatable except by women. The desperate gods asked Brahma for advice and he sent them to the forest around Banepa where the mother gods lived in those days. In the mean time Narada went to Chanda and provoked him to come to Banepa to fight the gods. When Chanda arrived with a big army of demons, all the gods took the forms of different birds and flew. The mother goddess quickly disappeared in a tree but Chanda saw that and cut down the tree with his sword. Now the goddess appeared on a big lion and a terrible fight between her and Chanda started. But Chanda had no chance and was killed by the mother goddess. Out of the belly of Chanda who was a big devotee of Shiva a lingam grew. This lingam can be seen in the small temple just in front of the big temple in the Chandeshwori temple complex. It is said that down at the big rocks around the river you can still see the marks of the big fight between the goddess and the demon.

One of the most popular temples in the town of Banepa located about a kilometer from the highway. It is perfectly placed at the bottom of a hill. The surrounding areas are mostly Newars. The temple itself is beautifully crafted. There is a magnificent painting of the Kal Bhairab on the right wall of the temple.
