Budhanilkantha temple is one of the many places I'm familiar with and hold it very dear to my heart. It is a place that I will never forget in my lifetime. On this blog, I have shared a few things which make this place so wonderful.

Budhanilkantha is a Sanskrit word that means 'Old Blue Throat', a title of Lord Shiva that was given by gods after the lord drank poison to save the world. The temple houses the country's largest and most beautiful stone-carved idol of Lord Vishnu believed to have been made with a single block of black basalt stone of unknown origin. The water in budhanilkantha is believed to have originated from Gosainkunda, a lake formed as a result of Lord Shiva's Trident striking with the mountainside. Local legend describes the existence of a mirror-like image of Lord Shiva on the statue's underside.

Budhanilkantha's name has been a source of endless confusion. It has nothing to do with the Buddha. The real puzzler is why Budhanilkantha a title that unquestionably refers to Shiva has been attached here to Vishnu. The myth of Shiva's blue relates how the gods turn the ocean of existence and inadvertently had unleashed a poison that threatened to destroy the world which resulted in Shiva drinking the poison to save them from their blunder. His throat burning, the great god flew up to the range of north of Kathmandu, struck the mountainside with his Trident to create a lake, Gosainkunda, and quenched his thirst suffering no lasting effect except for a blue patch on his throat. The water in the Sleeping Vishnu's tank is popularly believed to originate in Gosainkunda, and Shiva's devoted his claim a reclining image of Shiva can be seen under the waters of the lake during the annual Shiva festival there in August, which perhaps explains the association local legend maintains that a mirror-like statue of Shiva lies on the underside of the statue.

A legend states that King Pratap Malla had a prophetic vision. This vision resulted in him believing that the kings of Nepal would die if they visited the Budhanilkanth Temple. Nepali monarchs after King Pratap Malla have never visited the temple in the fear of the prophecy.
