Tal Barahi Temple, Hindu temple on Phewa Lake, Kaski District, Nepal

The temple stands on a small island in Phewa Lake, featuring a two-story pagoda structure with intricate wooden carvings and red-painted walls.

The temple emerged during the medieval period as a sacred site dedicated to goddess Barahi, a manifestation of Durga in Hindu mythology.

Devotees from across Nepal gather at the temple during Dashain festival to perform rituals and make offerings to the protective deity Barahi.

Access to the temple requires a 10-minute boat ride from Lakeside Pokhara, with regular services operating between sunrise and sunset each day.

The temple contains a black stone idol representing goddess Barahi in her boar form, reflecting the divine connection between water and earth elements.
