Jal Binayak Temple, Hindu temple in Chobhar, Nepal.
Set near a small pond, Jal Binayak Temple features stone carvings and displays traditional Pagoda architecture with multiple tiered towers.
King Shiva Singh Malla established the temple in 723 Nepal Sambat, followed by King Sri Nivas Malla's addition of a gold-plated Gajur in 789.
The temple houses a stone statue of Lord Ganesh and Lord Bhairav, making it one of the four major Ganesh shrines in Kathmandu Valley.
Located 10 kilometers south of central Kathmandu at Kirtipur 44600, the temple welcomes visitors throughout the day for prayers and meditation.
The name derives from 'Jal' meaning water, as local tradition tells of the stone statue of Lord Ganesh emerging from water.
