Taleju bhawani Mandir is one of the oldest temples in Kathmandu. In my opinion, every people who love visiting historical places would like this place. Do visit this place whenever you visit Kathmandu. However, you are only allowed to go inside of the temple once in a year i.e in Nawami of Dashain.
Beautiful temple but isn't open to the public except for certain occasions. It's a very lively environment around it. Worth a walk around.
Taleju bhawani mandir belongs to Hindu Religion. IT HAS BEEN BUILD when Malla Castes King was ruling the Kathmandu.
It is used to open once TIME IN A YEARS WHEN NATIONAL festival ( Dashain ) starts.Very beautiful Surroundings covered with History of nepali rullers.
People believe that the temple was built in the shape of yantra, a mystical diagram said to have magical powers, due to a suggestion that came straight from the Goddess Taleju. According to legends, Taleju Bhawani herself made a special appearance at the temple’s dedication ceremony where she came disguised as a bee. She was originally a goddess from the south of India, but later became the kul deuta (family deity) of the Malla Kings in 14th century.
Even when the Malla kingdom was conquered by the Shah rulers, the new kings adopted Taleju as their own new royal deity in order to prove and cement their legitimacy to the throne. Some people also say due to the presence of the royal goddess, the temple escaped with only minor damages in the 2015 earthquake.
This temple is dedicated to Taleju Bhawani, the royal goddess of the Malla Dynasty. It was built by King Mahendra Malla and stands tallest among several temples in the Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, a World Heritage site.Taleju Temple is only opened once a year on the 9th day (Nawami) of Dashain. Great place.
