Nepali Mandir

A 19th-century pagoda-style temple built by the King of Nepal on Varanasi's ghats, modelled on Kathmandu's Pashupatinath.

Nepali Mandir (also known as Pashupatinath Temple Varanasi) is a striking temple on the banks of the Ganga near Lalita Ghat in Varanasi. Built by the King of Nepal in the 19th century, this pagoda-style temple is modelled on the famous Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu. Made entirely of wood with intricate Nepalese carvings, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple represents the close religious ties between India and Nepal and is one of the most visually distinctive temples on the Varanasi ghats, its tiered pagoda roof standing out among the Nagara-style temples of the city.
