Jal Binayak Mandir (Kathmandu) | temple

Nepal / Kathmandu / Kirtipur / Kathmandu
One of the ancient Temples belonging to the Kathmandu Valley Civilization. A stone that protrudes from the Bagmati Riverbed is worshiped as Jal (water) Binayak (the god of learning). From within the Jal Binayak, one can hear the gushing sound of water coming from below. Due to growing pollution in Bagmati, the holy shrine is also drawing foul smell from the water underneath the deity.
Greater consensus among people is that the current Manjushree Park should extend covering entire range of the temple and the Chobhar gorge for conservation of the Manjushree and Jal Binayah Heritage.
