What to expect

Dakshin Kali Temple is hidden deep in a lush green valley 22 kilometers south of Kathmandu. In Nepali, Dakshin means South and Kali is the name of the Hindu goddess, so this temple is dedicated to the goddess Kali, of the South. It is especially crowded on Tuesdays and Saturdays when animal sacrifices are offered to the deity who, according to legend killed a demon and drank the fresh blood of animals. Till this day people worship this goddess by offering the blood of roosters or male goats in hopes that Kali will give them power to succeed and their wishes will be fulfilled. It is fascinating to see the rituals of worship at this well preserved temple which was built during 17th century. The unique environment at Dakshin Kali stimulates the senses; as you walk down the long staircase to the temple you are surrounded by green hills around you, temple bells ringing, ladies dressed in red and the ancient ritual of blood sacrifice.
