Taleju temple of Kathmandu is one rare temple which opens only one day of the year to the public. And that one day is the 9th day of Dashain or Maha Navami. It is located in Kathmandu Durbar Square in Trishul Chowk which is attached to the Hanuman Dhoka Palace. This temple was constructed in 1564 by King Mahendra Malla. It is said that the temple was built in the shape of a yantra, a mystical diagram said to have magical powers, due to a suggestion that came straight from the mouth of Goddess Taleju herself. According to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, Taleju Bhawani made a special appearance at the temple's dedication ceremony. Legend has it that Goddess Taleju Bhawani showed up undercover, disguised as a bee. - See more at: http://awaken-nepal.com/taleju-bhagwati-kathmandu/#sthash.DBO7raRf.dpuf
