Shilu Mahadev Temple, Hindu temple in Bhaktapur, Nepal.
The temple features a modern domed shrine with five-layer platforms, guarded by stone sculptures of elephants, lions, and bulls at its entrance.
Built during King Jitamitra Malla's reign, the temple sustained major damage in the 2015 earthquake, leaving only its base structure intact.
Known locally as Phasidega due to its pumpkin-like architecture, the temple contains sculptures of Hindu deities and a sacred Shiva linga.
The temple stands in the northeast corner of the 55-window palace, accessible through the eastern exit of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
The five platforms of the temple represent the Pancha Maha Preta: Rudra, Ishwor, Vishnu, Brahma, and Sadashiv.
