This 3-story temple was built in 1680. It is dedicated to the patron saint of business and trade, who is very important in the pantheon of Hindu Gods. Like other Hindu temples, it is inaccessible to "infidels". Its front, richly decorated with gold and silver decorations, stands out among the neighboring temples. It is impossible to pass by it indifferently because even from a distance it makes a great impression. It was also damaged many times after subsequent earthquakes, but it is always restored.

Bhimsen is the patron deity of Newari people, god of business and trade. The 17th century temple has a very graceful design. Known for interconnected windows. Tourists cannot enter this temple.

Bhimsen temple is located at one end of the Durbar Square and is dedicated to Bhimsen of Mahabharata. Must admit I havent seen or heard of any temple dedicated to Bhim elsewhere.
Small temple. One can visit the first floor by taking off footwear. Be cautious while u climb, wooden steps are too steep.

This temple sits at the northern end of the square and dedicated to the God of Business & Trade and was sadly under renovation. Access was possible but the exterior was a mess. The temple has undergone several renovations , in 1862 after a fire, and in 1934 and 1967 after earthquakes and now.

This temple is one of the many in Durbar Square, Patan. It is at the far end and is a three storey pagoda. The photo of the octagonal buildings with the dome is not Bhimsen Temple but a Krishna Temple at the opposite end of the square. They are both nice but the photo is incorrect.

Wonderful architecture, like all the temples on the square and this has a rich history.
This temple is very popular (dedicated to the god of trade and business) between the local merchant and trader communities. The temple is located on the north of Durbar Square. Bhimsen Temple is dedicated to Bhimsen, one of the five Pandavas of the Mahabarata.
The three-storey pagoda has an unusual rectangular plan that sets it apart from other temples in Patan. Non-Hindus may once again be able to climb to the upper level to view the wild-eyed statue of Bhimsen. Wonderfully.
