Dolakha Bhimsen Temple, Hindu temple in Bhimeshwar, Nepal
The Dolakha Bhimsen Temple is a Hindu shrine in Bhimeshwar that houses a triangular stone idol in a roofless structure. Devotees gather here in the mornings to worship Bhimeshwar and in the evenings to honor Narayana.
An inscription from 1611 documents a renovation of the structure, though its original construction remains undocumented in historical records. The site has endured over the centuries as a place of worship.
Traders from the Newar community regularly visit to seek blessings from Bhindyo, the patron deity of commerce, for their business ventures. This practice reflects how the place remains connected to local trade and livelihood.
The temple is accessible and offers different experiences depending on the time of day you visit. Morning hours tend to be quieter and ideal for observing morning worship practices without large crowds.
The stone idol here displays an unusual feature: it perspires liquid-like droplets that locals traditionally interpret as signs of coming national events. This mysterious characteristic makes the place deeply meaningful to many who visit.
