This is the temple for the Mother of Buddha “Maya Devi”. In 1992 excavations proved that the temple was built 2200 years back. The main idol is a sandstone carving for the birth of Buddha in 14th century by Malla King, Ripu Malla. There is a sacred pond beside the temple where Maya Devi had bath. All around the place there were ruins that dated back from the 2nd century to the 9th century.
