In the Kandapuran glacier, it is described that one can attain Shivalok by bathing in Magh and worshiping Kiranteshwar. This Kiranteshwar Mahadev was established by the Kirantkalin king Yalambar. That is why it is called Kirateshwar Mahadev. Buddhists also visit this temple. There are also idols of small gods in this temple. There are Nandi, Trishul, Damru etc. near Kirateshwar Ling while there is a black trishul above the Shivalinga which is decorated with weeds. Situated in the middle of the greenery of hill, this temple of Kirateshwar Mahadev is located in a very peaceful environment, from where one can also see the natural scenery.
