This historical building was built in 600 century by the Malla King, Vir Hambir. The temple has a unique and unparalleled structure. It stands erect on a square shaped lateral plinth. A pyramidal superstructure covers the plinth. The inner sanctum of the temple is enclosed by three circular shaoed galleries. These galleries are surmounted by a colossal pyramidal structure. Further, these majestic pyramidal structures are embellished with exquisite terracotta work and motifs. Rasmancha was built in order to enable a mass scale worship of the deities during the Ras festival. This was a significant festival during the reign of the Malla kings. During this festival, images of deities from across the town were brought to this temple and venerated. As this mammoth structure lights up during the night, it provides a mesmerizing sight to the devotees.
