Hiranya Varna Mahabihar (Golden Temple)
To simply call this magnificient monument a mere temple is not sufficient enough to express its architectural grandeur. It would be more appropriate to call
it the most fascinating monastery complex ever built in Patan and dedicated to Lord Buddha.
Hidden away from noisy streets and squares this gorgeous golden temple complex in fact is only a few minutes discovery walk from Patan Durbar Square. This
magnificient golden structure is a good example of monastic architecture of Nepal and was built by King Vaskar Verma in early 12th century.
