Amar Narayan Temple


Built in 1807 AD by Amar Singh Thapa, the temple of Amar Narayan is considered an important landmark of Tansen. It is built in typical Nepali Pagoda style for its historical and architectural significance. The intricate works of woodcarvings in the temple are simply marvelous. The temple is surrounded by one-meter wide stonewall, locally known as the 'Great Wall of Palpa'. Inside the temple-complex, there are the temple of Lord Shiva, ponds, parks, rest houses and a natural water spring. Every morning and evening devotees gather at the compound and chant 'Bhajans' (holy recitals) in chorus.
