Summary
editDescriptionRato Machhindranath Temple Bungmati Lalitpur Nepal Rajesh Dhjungana (20).jpg |
English: The famous Rato Machhindranath temple in Bungmati of Lalitpur district. Rich in natural beauty, architecture and culture, this religious site has been important since time immemorial (Lichhawabikalin). Machhindranath's name is also Banguddhyo. For this reason, this place was also called Bungabhumi village. Acharya Kaul, a member of the Nath sect, was a great helper in its origin. His guru is Jalandharnath and his disciple is Gorakhnath. At some point, a son of a Brahmin couple was born. The astrologer called the child lazy and threw him into the river. A female fish swallowed the child. At that time, while Shiva was telling immortal story to Parvati in the river, the female fish had reached there. At that time, while Parvati was sleeping, the child in the belly of the female fish was listening to the story. While listening to the immortal story, the fully enlightened female came out of the stomach of the fish and reached the shelter of Shiva. Shiva held Parvati in his arms saying that she was his son. After that, there is a legend that the child was named Machhindranath by Shiva Parvati. During the reign of King Narendra Dev I, there was a drought in Nepal for 12 years. When King Narendra Dev asked Tantric Bandhudatta Acharya the reason for the lack of rain, he noticed from his introspection that Guru Gorakhnath, the yogi who came to Nepal to pay homage to him, did not respect him. After receiving it, Bandhudatta took Acharya and Lalit named Jyapu to Kamrup Kamakhya in Assam, India.
There Machhindranath was invoked in a golden urn by Tantric rituals and Machhindranath was brought to Nepal in a delusion and a peak style temple was established in Bungmati. Therefore, this is the main temple of Rato Machhindranath. The temple complex is very spacious and artistic. There are various other temples near the same temple. This temple was completely damaged by the great earthquake of 2072 BS. Reconstruction work is currently underway. At present, the deity Rato Machhindranath is kept elsewhere, i.e. near the temple, for the worship of the devotees. Rato Machhindranath's Jatra is celebrated once a year which is the longest Jatra in Nepal. |
