Summary[edit]

Description
English: There is a temple of this Vaishnavi goddess in a small forest on the right side of the place called Yapa on the downhill road to Bhaisepati in Lalitpur district. The shadow of the tree covers the whole temple. The stones of these goddesses are on the ground. There are also idols of other deities nearby. There is also an idol of Garuna in front of the idol of Bhagwati which is the power of Vishnu. Regarding the origin of this goddess, Mananga fell in this place when Lord Shiva was carrying the dead body of Sati Devi. Therefore, this place is also considered as Shaktipith. Vaishnavi is one of the many powers of Lord Bishnu. According to the Markandeya Purana, Vaishnavi has four arms and in these hands she is a goddess with a conch shell, a mace and a lotus. Devotees throng the temple of this goddess on Saturdays, Tuesdays and on the great festival of Nepalis, Bijayadashami. This goddess is also considered as the goddess of magic.
