Bindebasini Temple
विन्ध्यवासिनी मन्दिर
A two-tiered, pagoda-style temple in the centre of the old street, dedicated to the goddess Durga, with fine woodcarvings and the town's spiritual heart.
Bindebasini Temple stands on the square of Bandipur's old street. It is a two-tiered Newar pagoda-style temple dedicated to an incarnation of the goddess Durga, with finely carved wooden brackets under the eaves and around the doors and windows. The square in front is the town's gathering place and the centre of its festivals. During the autumn Dashain festival and the spring New Year, there are rituals and processions. Admission is free. Shoes must be removed before entering the inner sanctum, and some areas are off-limits to non-Hindus, so please respect local customs.
