Bindabasini temple or Bindhyabasini Mandir is of big religious importance to Hindus living in the Pokhara region. It is a vital hub of religious fervor. The temple itself is committed to the Hindu goddess Durga, who is Pokhara's chosen guardian deity. Durga, also famous as Shakti or Kali has numerous manifestations and at the Bindabasini temple she is seen as Bhagwati, a blood-thirsty part of the goddess. Durga appears in the form of a Saligram. A Saligram, according to Hindu mythology is an propitious stone. It is said that the temple was created after the goddess ordered queen Khadag Bum Malla to set up a her statue here. The Bindabasini temple was then founded in BS 1845. Since its organization, Bhagwati has been an object of worship here on a daily basis. Animal sacrifices are typically presented at the temple on Saturdays and Tuesdays. The Hindu festival of Dashain sees large numbers of believers coming to offer sacrifices at Binhyabasini Mandir. Indeed, there is little space for tourist during the festival of Dashain.
