About About the place

The Nepali Temple, also known as Kathwala Temple, is a distinctive religious site in Varanasi, built by the King of Nepal in the 19th century. Situated on Lalita Ghat, near Manikarnika Ghat, the temple stands out due to its Nepali architectural style, a contrast to the prevalent Hindu temples in the region. Constructed primarily of wood and stone, it features elaborate carvings, including depictions of Kamasutra poses, and is dedicated to Lord Shiva, worshipped as Lord Pashupatinath. The temple provides a serene atmosphere for contemplation and is noted for its cleanliness and well-maintained grounds.

I always wanted to visit this city as it was on my bucket list and there is so much to see here that you really really fell in love with the culture, the buildings, the people and the food of this place. We took the tour package where the guide took us to all the main spots and apart from it, we were able to enjoy so much at the markets of the city and shopped so much stuff.
