Read moreThe Dattatreya temple would have been built, with the wood of a single tree. Dating from the 15th century, this three-storey temple is a Nepalese specificity where Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are worshipped in the same place. It is built on a wide brick base decorated with erotic scenes that are also found on the lintels. Two Malla wrestlers, identical to those at Nyatapola, guard the entrance. The building was formerly used as an inn and welcomed the Gosain, these Hindu monks who, between two preachings, traded with Tibet.
