Dolakha district and Nepal's most unique temples Dolakha Bhimeshwar, Dolakha Bhimsen and Bhimadhipati. Dolakha has been a gateway to Tibet since ancient times. Also from the cultural study of Dolakha Bazaar, this place is known as Kirantkalin. The name Bhimsen, Bhimeshwar or Bhimadhipati, which has no half-skull, is famous even though it does not have any special shape. However, the locals say that this temple is also known as another deity. This temple has no roof. In the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, there is a statue of Bhimsen in the form of Anshavatar of Bhima, Rudra and Bhagwati on a triangular stone about 30 inches high. To the right and left of the idol are the idols of Mishwari's mother Kunti and his wife Draupadi. In this temple, there are gold-plated snakes hanging. These deities are bathed in water, milk, ghee and honey. In this temple, it is customary to worship the akshata left by hand or the akshata beaten on the akhat. It is said that this Bhimsen changed his form at different times and became Bhagwati. That is why sacrifices are offered in this temple only till 2 o'clock, after which the blood of various animals in the temple premises is washed. Then there is no bud. Lord Bishnu is also worshiped in this temple. This temple is also worshiped on Ram Navami festival and Saraswati is also worshiped. As this temple is also called Bhimeshwar, worship is also done on the great festival of Hindus, Mahashivaratri. Worship is performed in this temple 4 times a day. There is Arambha Puja at 5 am, Rudri Puja at 9 am, Chakkal Puja at 12 noon, Raj Puja at 2.30 pm and Aarti Puja at 6 pm. Devotees also perform Vakal Pujas, Chah Puja, Rudri Puja, Bali Puja, Lakhbakti Puja, Havan Yajna Puja, 108 Batti Balne Puja, Panchbali Puja in Bada Dashai, Mahasnan Guthi and Chaitra Dashai. Bhimsen's formless stone gender is believed to have many powers to fulfill the desires of the devotees. From these statues, the foreshadowing of the national crisis also symbolically brings out sweat from the statues. There is a practice of reciting special poojas for relieving the crisis during such sweating. There is a belief that visiting the water tank in this temple will fulfill the desires of the devotees. There is an artistic pillar in front of the temple with idols of various deities in the temple premises. There is a big wooden pillar behind the temple. Which is called Chulkayasi. There is also a legend that the form that flew when Vissen incarnated is seen sitting on the top of this chulakayasi. The origin of this Bhimeshwar is related to the fact that in ancient times, 12 porters came to live in the place where the temple is now. They all brought three stones to make a stove for the evening meal

But one Dhakre (porter) brought only two stones. The sparkle of a stone has made the stone of Nihi Bhimeshwar. When a dhakrejl (porter) was cooking the dhido (hillside food), the porter was so angry that the dhido was not cooked as much as the dhido was cooked on the part of the vehicle. Due to his injury, a piece of the right side of the stone broke. Blood and milk started flowing from the same place. After telling all these things to a sadhu who was there, the sadhu told that the part of Mahadev in that stone was inside Mahabali Bhima. According to the same vow, they performed puja on the day of Baradshah. That is why any mishap has been avoided. Due to this belief, the first 12 goats are still sacrificed in this temple in Dashain. No one else is worshiped or sacrificed on this day. In this temple, especially on the day of Viva Ekadashi, a special special puja is performed. Also Sankranti, Shivaratri, Rudri, Ram Navami, Chaite Dashai and Vada Dashai festivals attract huge crowds of devotees. It is also written as Tapomuni. Due to its proximity to Mount Kailash, it is called Bhimeshwar. Special worship is offered by the Tamang community in this temple. There are 4 inscriptions in the temple premises. The temple has idols of various deities on the right, left, back and front. To the left of the temple is the largest trident of Dolakha, which is 31 feet long, 4 feet deep and 27 feet high. Dibyadhwaj Karki, a social worker from Dolakha district, made the trident out of solid iron and buried it in the temple according to the religious method.
