This place is also known as Kageshwori Temple or Kageshwori Mahadevsthan . One day in Bhadra Krishna Asthami of each year, thousands of pilgrims come to visit this place. Golden crow is also shown at that occasion. Religious importance as well as economic activities are promoted through Haat bazar (Mela).Developing this place as the destination to international pilgrimage spot is on discussion. It is based on the lap of Shivapuri National Park in the remote bank of Kageshowri (Mahadev) river. During the session of mela people enjoy walking through jungle path and tasting various recipes. Newars are the main participants; they reside in the surrounding places like; Sankhu, Bhaktapur etc. And then Tamang come from different places nearing this heritage.
