English: The famous Rudrayani Devi temple located in Khokna, Lalitpur district. This pagoda style temple is very attractive. This temple is located in Khokana Chowk. The origin of this temple was built by King Amar Malla.

Inside the temple, there are idols of 11 deities including Mahakali, Kali and Ganesh on the upper floor. There is also a temple of Shrikhand where garlic is not offered. There is a deity stone which is said to be the perfect stone of the goddess. It is considered as of Mahadev's Ardhangini. Local devotees worship this goddess as a family goddess. There is also a fair on the days of Ashwin Shukla Tritiya and Karthik Punirma and on this day a large crowd of devotees gathers here. On this occasion, 11 idols are worshiped outside. Traditional style dance is also shown in the procession here. This dance has been going on since the time of King Bishnu Malla. Even after being taken to Kathmandu for 12 years, dance is shown. Chickens and pigs are not sacrificed in this temple. For this reason, the people of Khokna do not raise pigs and chickens. Khokana's lifestyle is very different from other places in the valley.
