One of the most well-known temples in Nepal is the Barahi Temple, which is situated in the center of Fewa Lake. Devoted to Goddess Varahi, this small island temple attracts a large number of tourists and pilgrims who come here with great devotion. The temple, which is only reachable by boat, represents Ajima, the feminine force. The main temple is large enough to accommodate many worshipers and is constructed in the traditional pagoda style using brick, stone, and wood. It’s the only temple in Nepal completely submerged beneath a lake with no access to the land. Every day, a priest conducts Puja using Puja Samagri. It is thought that winning the favor of Goddess Barahi will enable one to achieve their goals. In addition to being a shelter for pilgrims, the Tal Barahi Temple is also a retreat for lovers of history and the outdoors.
To visit Barahi Temple, you must go directly to Fewa Lake, where the temple is located in the center. Once at Fewa Tal, you’ll find many boats available to take you to the temple. You need to book a boat at a nearby counter, pay the fee, wear a life jacket for safety, and then enjoy the boat ride to the temple.
