Budhasubba, Hindu temple in Bijaypur, Sunsari District, Nepal
Budhasubba is a Hindu temple situated along the Seuti River, featuring two clay mounds within its grounds. These formations are believed to be sacred places where spiritual manifestations of the revered Budha Subba are present.
The site marks the tomb of Buddhikarna Rai Khewang, the last Limbu king of Morang, who died in 1773 during negotiations with Prithvinarayan Shah. His burial at this location transformed it into an important spiritual center for the local community.
The temple draws worshippers who come to perform ceremonies and express their devotion through ritual practices. Saturday gatherings attract larger crowds participating in communal religious observances and festivities.
The temple complex lies east of Kathmandu and includes multiple shrines along with communal spaces for worship and gathering. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and follow respectful conduct expected at religious sites.
The temple grounds feature bamboo trees with missing tops, according to local tales damaged by Budha Subba using a slingshot. This peculiar detail adds a layer of folk tradition to the site's spiritual identity.
