🛕 Adinath Lokeshwar

Anandadi Lokeshwar Mandir is a temple sacred to Hindus and Buddhists in the village of Chobar, outside Kathmandu in Nepal. The temple is dedicated to Anandadi Lokeshwar, one of four principal Bodhisattvas honored as Lokeshwars in the Kathmandu Valley. It was built in the 15th century, then rebuilt in 1640. Tourists often refer to this as the "pots and pans" temple, due to all of the domestic implements affixed to its walls. Accounts for this custom vary, but all relate to the welfare of the deceased in the afterlife.
