Chandeshwori Temple, nestled in Banepa approximately 25 kilometers east of central Kathmandu, is renowned for its impressive three-tiered temple, which was last rebuilt in the 17th century. This sacred site is dedicated to Chandeshwori, one of the Nine Durgas (Navadurgas), a goddess akin to the Tibetan deity Ekajati.
The temple features a mural of Chandeshwori slaying the demon Chanda. The temple also consists of the painting of lord Bhairava on one of its wall which is the biggest graffiti of the Nepal Mandala.
