Kumbheshwar Temple, Five-story Hindu temple in Lalitpur, Nepal.
The temple features multiple tiers with wooden carvings, a central shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, and a large Nandi bull statue at its entrance.
King Jayasthiti Malla constructed the initial two-story structure in 1392, and King Srinivas Malla added three additional levels during the 17th century.
The temple serves as a central location for Hindu ceremonies, including Janai Purnima festival, which attracts 200,000 devotees to see the silver-sheathed sacred linga.
Located 200 meters from Patan Durbar Square, the temple complex contains three main temples, five monuments, and two water ponds called hiti.
The natural spring water filling the temple ponds originates from Gosainkunda Lake, situated 43 kilometers north of Kathmandu at a higher elevation.
