Kumbeshwar Temple Complex

Kumbeshwar Temple Complex, Patan, Nepal

The temple where the hiti may be more important

 
     
A little about ...   How to travel here ...

The Kumbeshwar Temple Complex is where Patan is said to have got its name "Lalitpur".

One of the stories tells of Leper who accidentally found a water spring in field many years ago. The water was said to have cured the man of leprosy. A king named the man Lalit which means beautiful.

For visitors to Kumbeshwar you will see a the main temple, plus several others including a fire sacrifice temple and two hitis. It's worth going out of your way to see this complex as there are few like it in Nepal.

The full story and many more can be found in my guide to the Kumbeshwar Temple Complex in Patan or to get the most out of your journey get my guide book to Patan.
