The main deity of the temple, Goddess Durga, was brought from India. Apart from the peace and tranquility that can be felt in this region, the temple premises offer a good view of the Himalayas on a clear day. The temple is in the area of the bazaar; hence a journey to the old bazaar can be combined with a visit to the temple. • Phewa Lake and Barahi Temple Situated at 800m above sea level, it is the second-largest lake in the kingdom.

The entrance is right across from Devi's fall, and the cave is almost 3 km long. It has some big hall-sized rooms and some passages where you have to crawl on all fours.
