We have proposed a details of this Temple to be listed here, with a photo gallery too. If you would like to include your ideas, please send them to vdc@gaindakot.gov.np with full contact details. Thanks for your interests in the village's higest point to visit once.

This temple is assumed to be built by a ruler from Palpa-Tansen (King Mani Mukundasen) in between 1575-1615 BS. There is an idol of goddess called Kalika, to whom people worship by comming from far and far places.

Since it is located in the top of the mountain, it is the internal-tourims center too, besides some religious beleif. The mountain has a community protected jungle, and now seems beautiful and green. Investors have aided in building a concrete based stairs to go up to the temple. The temple area and the jungle base is used as a picnic spot too. We can now see that a very large crowd of people move up to worship the goddess or take a fun of walking in the mountain, and look down the city. The view down the city of Narayanghat, Gaindakot, the Narayani river, east-west highway, and the farms looks a perfect scene to freshen anyone. It has a self running water pump, electricity generator, a place to sacrifice goats, hens, he-buffaloes, etc. For the peace-work, you can ask to fly the pigeons from your own hands. That is a good experience. You can drink narual water taken down to many spots, rest in the Chautri, eat some foods etc.

Becase a lot of people are going to the temple, the social workers have now started to manage the people, funds and resurces to keep the temple good to visit. People are trying to establish this temple as a national property, and trying to print its photo in postal-tickets.
