History
The temple was built around Nepal's first king Prithvi Narayan Shah's reign.[2] The April 2015 Nepal earthquake devastated the Bhairabi Temple and it was restored in August 2020.[3] In 1793, Bahadur Shah installed a copper plate declaring Nepal's victory in the First Sino-Nepalese War at the temple.[4][5]
