Dolakha Bhimsen Temple Tour

Dolakha Bihmsen (Bhimeshwor) temple tour package is a special holy package for Hindu people. Bhimeshwor temple is located in Dolakha Bazar of Dolakha district. The main statue of this temple is the god Bhim. In Dolakha under the roofless temple, the idol of Bhim Sen is a triangular in shape and rough stone.

People regard this idol as Bhim Sen but it has three reincarnations as Bhim Sen himself, Goddess Bhagawati, who wants always the sacrifice of animals as a demon/devil, and last one: God Shiva who never sacrifice blood. The legend relates that long, long years ago there were 12 porters coming from elsewhere who stopped at this spot and they tried themselves to make three stone stoves to cook rice. There are so many faith incidents about the Bhim sen of Dolakha.

The miraculous thing about the Bhim sen statue of Dolakha is sweating fluid-like drops of warm water. The people, who lived in the Bhima''s kingdom, had to live sorrowful life from the Bhima and they pray to the god Shiva to save their life, then god Shive was come there from Gaurishanker and killed the king Bhima. According to this history after the Bhima''s death statue of the god at that spot was named Bhimeshwor.

The golden effigies of kings perched on the top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in every place-strut, lintels, uprights, tympanums, gateways, and windows, all seem to form a well-orchestrated symphony. The main items of interest in the Durbar Square are:

The Golden Gate: The Golden Gate is said to be the most beautiful and richly molded specimen of its kind in the entire world. The door is surmounted by a figure of the goddess Kali and Garuda (the mythical man bird) and attended by two heavenly nymphs.
