Dolakha Bhimsen Temple

[1] The temple is roofless in the center and it houses a triangular-shaped stone idol of Bhindyo, the patron god of trade, commerce and of fortunes.

[3] The temple is dedicated to Bhimsen, also known as Bhindyo in the Newar community, where he is worshipped as the god of trade, commerce, and fortune.

According to these beliefs, the Pandavas, during their twelve years of exile, spent time in Dolakha, and Bhimsen is honored in the region to this day.

This dual perspective acknowledges both the Newar community's worship of Bhindyo as a patron deity and the association of this Bhimsen with the legendary warrior of the Mahabharata.

[1] According to local legend, twelve porters made a three-stoned stove to cook their rice near a temple.
