Nepali Mandir, Hindu temple at Lalita Ghat, Varanasi, India.

The Nepali Mandir stands on the banks of the Ganges River, featuring a pagoda-style architecture with red-tinted stone and wooden carvings throughout its structure.

Construction of the temple began during the exile of Nepal's King Rana Bahadur Shah in 1800, and his son Girvan Yuddha completed it two decades later.

The temple contains detailed wood sculptures similar to those at Khajuraho temples, displaying the artistic connection between Nepali and North Indian architectural traditions.

Located 3.8 kilometers from Varanasi Junction railway station, visitors can access the temple by walking along the ghats from Dasashwamedha to Manikarnika.

The temple structure incorporates materials transported from Nepal, including specific red stones that were carried across the mountainous terrain to Varanasi.
