🕉️ The story & spiritual meaning
Bandipur's guardian is Khadga Devi — worshipped as a sacred sword said to have been gifted by Shiva, so powerful it is kept wrapped and unveiled only once a year at Dashain, when the whole town processes behind it.
Bandipur
Central Hills · 1,030m · best Year-round
A perfectly preserved Newari hilltop bazaar, car-free and draped in Himalayan panoramas — Nepal's prettiest pause.
