Balkumari temple, Hindu temple in Bhaktapur District, Nepal
The Balkumari temple features a three-story structure with a square base and decorative peacock elements mounted on each corner of the building.
Built in the 17th century, the temple stands as one of four Kumari temples in Kathmandu Valley, marking centuries of religious significance.
During Sindoor Jatra festival on Nepali New Year Day, thirty-two chariots carrying idols of gods and goddesses proceed from the temple grounds.
The temple contains both the main Balkumari shrine and a separate Bhairab temple within its premises, allowing visitors to experience multiple sacred spaces.
Following a theft attempt, the original idol was discovered inside an airplane at Tribhuvan International Airport, which mysteriously could not take off.
