Krishna
Mandir is main temple of patan, it was built by King Siddhinarsingh Malla. its strong Mughal influences, this stone temple
is clearly of Indian design, unlike the nearby brick-and-timber,
multiroofed Newari temples.
The 1st and 2nd floors of this temple are made up of a line of three miniature pavilions, from the top of which rises a shikhara style spire. it is known as 21 gajur tample.Musicians can often be heard playing upstairs.
Krishna
is an incarnation of Vishnu, so the god's vehicle, the man-bird Garuda,
kneels with folded arms on top of a column facing the temple. The stone
carvings along the beam above the 1st-floor pillars recount events of
the Mahabharata, while on the 2nd floor there are scenes from the
Ramayana. These fine friezes are accompanied by explanations in Newari
of the narrative scenes. A major
festival is held here in August/September (Bhadra) for Krishna's
birthday, Krishnasthami. which is called shree krishna jatra.
