Bal Gopaleshwar Temple open today for those without sisters or brothers

Kathmandu. For those who do not have sisters or brothers, the historic Bal Gopaleshwar Temple, located in the middle of Rani Pokhari in Kathmandu, has been opened today, the day of Bhai Tika, for worship, darshan, and receiving tika. This temple, which opens only once a year on the day of Bhai Tika, is visited by citizens who do not have sisters or brothers to worship and receive the seven-colored tika.

An inscription states that after King Pratap Malla’s son Chakravartendra Malla died at an early age, the Rani Pokhari was built in 1727 BS to console the grieving queen. The Bal Gopaleshwar Temple was established at the exact center of the pond at that time.

Until before 2035 BS, because the risk of ordinary people jumping into the pond and unpleasant incidents increased while entering Rani Pokhari to reach the temple, the temple was closed for security reasons. At that time, brothers without sisters and sisters without brothers used to gather at Khanjaneshwar Mahadev Temple in Jayabageshwori and receive tika.
