Bhairavsthan



A pleasant walk along the mountain ridge to the west of Tansen brings one to the alleged largest golden trident of Nepal. After walking roughly 9 km, one can reach Bhairavsthan, a temple situated atop a small hill. The temple's statue of Bhairav is kept hidden, because its sight is unbearably frightening and it is said that people who catch a glimpse of it are in danger of losing their lives. So, even the priests worship the statue from behind a curtain. The main days of worshipping for the common people are Tuesday and Saturday
