Laying Vishnu Ji
Sep 2023 • Friends
Had darshan on 02 September 2023

The place is in hilly areas a little away (12 kms) from Kathmandu. This place is well connected by the public buses and taxis. The uniqueness of the deity pose makes this a must visit for religious people.

There are religious performances / dances and this place also has "Rudraksha" trees. There are shops dotting this area which sells souvenier and rudraksha at very reasonable price. Do not fall prey to the roadside people selling multi-mukhi rudraksha most of which are fake

Vishnu temple
Mar 2023
Budha Nilkantha is Vishnu temple. Very nicely decorated area. The Temple complex is amazing. They offer vermilion on Lord Bishnu that I never saw in other areas. Nicely maintained and clean complex.

Apr 2023 • Couples
Religious sites that are highly respected and worshiped by their adherents. however not too much to see for tourists of different faiths. Can only see the statue of the god Vishnu lying from outside the fence. Nice experience though.

A divine place
May 2022
Located on the outskirts of Katmandu city, this place is also known as Jal Narayan. The temple hosts Lord Vishnu in the sleeping posture inside a pond. The uniqueness of the statue is that Vishnu is resting on his back on the serpant Adishesha rather than on his palm and sleeping side ways. The place has a special aura and is very calm and peaceful.

It’s kinda nice there. I was there while on my way to the hills and was there again at the evening on my way back. The place and surrounding area looked quite charming with all the lights. There’s a evening bazaar too I think.

A must visit for Lord Vishnu devotees which encompasses Hindus and Buddhists. The name might not directly related to Lord Vishnu or Lord Narayana , but the image is definitely Lord Vishnu.
