Things to see and do Bungamati

Stone inscriptions dating back to the ^7th century allow us to date Bungamati, which once housed a royal residence. Built in a shikhara style, this temple is very impressive and stands out from the Newar style. It protects the deity Rato Macchendranath for six months of the year. The rest of the time, the statue is housed in Patan. With its chörten and enormous prayer wheel, it's well worth a visit. Macchendranath celebrations culminate in a procession of huge carts.
