Ashok Binayak Temple, Hindu temple in Maru Tole, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Nepal.
The single-story temple features gold-plated exteriors and protective bars, with a statue of Lord Ganesh as its central religious figure.
The temple stands as one of the four original Ganesh shrines established in the Kathmandu Valley, alongside Chandra Binayak, Surya Binayak, and Jal Binayak.
Every Tuesday, Hindu devotees gather at the temple to present offerings of flowers, fruits, and sweets while seeking blessings from Lord Ganesh.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours at Layaku Marg in Durbar Square, where visitors must remove shoes and dress modestly before entering.
The structure lacks the traditional pointed roof known as gajur, which led to its local name Maru, meaning does not have in the Newari language.
