Budhanilkantha Temple is situated below the Shivapuri Hill at the northern end of the Kathmandu valley.

[4] The temple's main statue of Budhanilkantha is considered the largest stone carving in Nepal.

[5] The Budhanilkantha Temple has become the site where thousands of pilgrims visit when Haribondhini Ekadashi Mela takes place on the 11th day of the Hindu month of Kartika (October–November) every year.

A big fair is also held at the temple area every year on the auspicious occasions such as Ekadashis, Harishayani and Haribodhini of hindu lunar calendar which marks the 4-month sleeping period of Lord Vishnu.

This vision resulted in him believing that the kings of Nepal would die if they visited the Budhanilkantha Temple.

[7] Royal family members including the Nepalese monarchs after King Pratap Malla never visited the Temple in fear of the prophecy.

The Raja then made a tank for the Narayana, and called him Budhanilkantha, and built a temple for him.

The legends also claims that the mirror like image is seen on annual Shiva festival held every year in August.
