Taleju Temple, Hindu temple in Durbar Square, Nepal.
The three-story temple stands 35 meters tall on twelve stone platforms, featuring traditional pagoda architecture with intricately carved wooden elements throughout its structure.
Built in 1564 by King Mahendra Malla, the temple became a central religious structure of the Malla dynasty, who established it as their royal place of worship.
The temple holds special significance during Dashain festival, when thousands of Hindu devotees gather to honor Taleju Bhawani, the patron goddess of the Malla kings.
The temple remains closed to visitors throughout the year except for one day during Dashain, when Hindu worshippers can enter to perform religious ceremonies.
The temple complex contains twelve miniature replicas of the main structure and four additional temples positioned at higher elevations within the sacred enclosure.
