Finally, we went back to the southern end of Duba Square in Kathmandu and went to a single wooden temple where we worshipped a statue of our unknown Hindu gods. This temple is famous not only because it was built from wood of a big tree, but also because it used to be a public house for pilgrims and passers-by to rest, and then it was built into a temple. From the 12th century, the whole city seems to have been built around a single wooden temple. At first, people named the city "Kasthamandap", Sanskrit named Gastmandap, meaning a beautiful city, Nepalese for Kathmandu, which means a single tree temple. This shows that the temple played a very important role in the history of Kathmandu city. It may be said that it is the witness of the history of Kathmandu city. There are also two temples near the Dumu Temple. A large multi-storey Temple used to be a collective activity center. Now the door is very cold and closed. Another small golden-crowned temple is dedicated to the gods worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists, so almost every passing citizen will enter it or ring bells or worship, it seems very lively. Both temples are said to have been renovated over a hundred years ago. Despite the ups and downs of Nepal's national history over the past century, it seems that the protection and renovation of ancient buildings such as temples have been well done in Nepal.

    Dumu Temple is located in the middle of the road west of Basentepur in downtown Nepal. It used to be a public house where pilgrims and passers-by rested, and then it was built into a temple. It is a pagoda-temple building with double eaves and a height of about 20 meters. The Dumu Temple was built in the 12th century from the wood of a tree. The Sanskrit name is Kastha Mandap, meaning a beautiful city. The Nepalese name is Kathmandu, meaning Dumu Temple. Later, building houses and cities around this center, that is, the name of the city, which is also the origin of the name of Nepal's capital.

    Kasthamandap was a three-storied public shelter that included a shrine consecrated to Gorakshanath situated at Hanumandhoka, Kathmandu. The word Kasthamandap literally translates to ‘Wood Shelter’ in English. The landmark was a popular tourist site for ages

    The Dumu Temple was originally a public house where pilgrims and passers-by rested, and was later built as a temple. The Temple played a very important role in Kathmandu's urban history. Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, means a single wooden temple in Nepalese. The temple is open. When you enter the dummy temple, you can see the statue of Gorakhnath in the log cabin in the middle of the temple. Ganesh's statue can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, as well as some other shrines of gods. Many citizens in Kathmandu are burning incense and worshipping, and we have silent wishes in our hearts.
