DATTATREYA TEMPLE


Constructed by King Yaksha Malla, the Dattatreya Temple is found in the Dattatreya Square. This is an imposing structuring towering three stories high and is said to have been built from a stem of just one tree.

The Dattatreya Temple is an important structure in Nepal. It is a testament to the history and the toughness of its people since it has survived not just the test of time, but several calamities as well. This includes the 1934 earthquake that brought down dozens of other ancient buildings in the Kathmandu Valley.
