Bhagawati Temple


Built by Ujir Singh Thapa in 1814 AD to mark the victory over colonial British-India forces, the temple is a small structure but holds immense religions importance. It is said that the original structure was remarkably bigger and more beautiful and it has undergone many physical adjustments, most recently after the great earthquake of 1934. Every year in the month of August, a chariot procession of deities is taken out throughout the town with military honor to observe the historic battle.
