SHESH NARAYAN

     A few miles south-west of Kathmandu,the temple of Shesh Narayan is situated amidst wonderful natural scene near Pharping on the way to Dakshinkali. The image of Lord Vishnu with four hands dates back to very olden days. The temple of Shesh Narayan was constructed in the time of Lichchavi King Haridutta Varma in the third century A.D. Around the temple there are fish ponds. Just behind the temple there in the cave where there is a shape of a cow's dug through which water flows all the year round in drops. As the mythology runs, in the hoary past milk used to flow from it  (It was believed to be the dug of  the holy Kamadhenu, the divine cow which fulfills the desires of all).
