The three-storey Indreshwar Mahadev Temp le in the village centre is a Shiva temple, built in 1294 and rebuilt in the 15th cent ury. In 1988 an earthquake caused serious damage. In its original form it may well have been the oldest temple in Nepal — Kathmandu’s Kasthamandap may predate it, but Kasthamandap was originally built as a dharamsala, not as a temple. The temple is certainly a fine one and the roof struts depicting the various incarnations of Shiva and some discreetly amorous couples are masterpieces of Newari woodcarving.
