There is a story about how this temple built during Lichhavi King Man Deva. It is said that the Buchakot people dreamt that Goddes Bhagawati asked them to take her to the north of the place. While they were taking her to the north with great respect, they spent a night at the present temple area. The next morning they could not lift the idol off the place and they built the temple there.

Roses are red
Hindus are brown
that’s my race
so don’t put it down!!
My hindu pride
I will not hide
My hindu race
I will not disgrace
My hindu blood
flows hot & true
My hindu peeps
I will stand by you
thru thick & thin
till the day we die
Our Hindi flag
Always stands high
I yell this poem
Louder than all the rest.
cuz every 1 knows
HINDUZ ARE THE BEST!!!
hindu Pride in my mind
hindu BLOOD is my kind
So step aside and let me through
Cuz its all about the hindu crew
Life sucks and then u die
but if your hindu
You die with good ass HINDI

Rajesh,
Awesome job. Congratulation for posting the picture of one of the most popular Goddess of the Nepal int the eve of the CA election. I hope and wish that Mata Planchowk Bhagwati will provide Sadbuddi to all the politician of the Nepal. With that Sadbuddi to the elected representatives of the CA election, Nepal will keep moving forward on the path of democracy and which will last very very long.
