Naradevi Temple, Hindu temple in central Kathmandu, Nepal.

The three-tiered Naradevi Temple stands with one gold-plated roof and features three silver statues of Kali within its sacred walls.

The temple emerged during the Licchavi dynasty and was later established in the ninth century by Gunakamadeva, the founder of Kathmandu.

During the festival of Dasain, the temple hosts Khadga Jatra, where swords are carried in procession and traditional tantric rituals take place.

The temple welcomes visitors throughout the week, requiring modest clothing, with special considerations during religious ceremonies and festival periods.

According to local tradition, the residence called Byachen near the temple maintains the ornaments and garments belonging to the goddess Swetakali.
