Summary[edit]

Description
English: Vatsaleshwari temple near the bridge of Bagmati on the Pashupatinath of Kathmandu. This pagoda style temple built in a unique pattern of woodwork is very attractive. There is no idol inside this temple. There is only a mechanical pavilion. It is believed that Mother Parvati has invisible power in that mandapa. Vatsaleshwari is mentioned as another name of Parvati in Nepal Mahatma. Under the mandapa of this temple, worship is done by invoking Bhairav. Parvati's other name is Vatsaleshwari and she is also worshiped as Siddhalakshmi. In this temple, on the day of Chaite Oushi, Naxal Bhagwati is brought and Vatsaleshwari is worshiped.

According to the Nepal Mahatmya Pashupatipuran, Gauri Devi expressed her desire to live with Pashupatinath on the side of Bagmati. It seems that Gauri named Vatsaleshwari was there by the order of Lord Shankara. Patsupatinath was renamed Vatsaleshwari after Kailash refused to return to this place and expressed her desire to stay with her husband. Before worshiping Pashupatinath, the elders still bathe in Bagmati and visit Vatsaleshwari only after visiting Pashupatinath from the east gate.

According to the Devmala genealogy, after the appearance of Guhyeshwari along with her gang, these goddesses have remained in the form of Tejasvi and Ugrapeeth. In the time of King Shivadev, the tradition of worshiping on the day of Baishakh Shukla Ekadashi was established.
