Bajrayogini Temple, Buddhist temple in Sankhu, Nepal
The three-story Bajrayogini Temple exhibits red-faced deity statues with three eyes and decorated hands inside its pagoda-style structure with bronze roofs and metal flags.
King Pratap Malla constructed the main temple during the sixteenth century, establishing it as part of a larger religious complex in the Kathmandu Valley.
Both Buddhist and Hindu practitioners visit the temple to honor Vajrayogini, a tantric deity associated with Ugra Tara through traditional ceremonies and meditation practices.
Located 20 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, the temple complex includes nine meditation caves and requires visitors to climb a long stairway to reach the main building.
The temple grounds feature a cave called Dharma Pap Gupha with Tibetan inscriptions that, according to local beliefs, reveals visitors' virtues or sins upon entering.
