About Brahmayani Temple

The Brahmayani temple stands on the north bank of the Punyamata river within the Tribeni Ghats, a sacred space defined as a three-river confluence. These three rivers are the Punyamata, the Rosi, and a third “mystical” river known as the Gupta Khola (secret river), which supposedly runs southward along the mountainside behind the temple (this “river” only presents itself in periods of heavy rainfall when it may be seen, or at least, imagined from all the runoff).

Brahmayani herself is one of the eight Matrikas, or mothers, worshipped in Nepal. According to Dowman, “Brahmayani appears to be the least popular of the Eight [Matrikas]” (Dowman, p. 356); hence, this site is vital as it represents one of the few temples devoted to the goddess. Iconographically, she is shown with four heads and holds a kalasa pot, signifying fertility and abundance.
