Karyavinayak Temple

This temple lies in the northern side of Bungamati and is one of the four Vinayak temples of the valley. Vinayak is an alternative name of Ganesh, the elephant headed god who is worshipped as the harbinger of good luck. Son of lord Shiva, he is believed to be the leader of all gods and hence is worshipped first in almost all religious and auspicious occasions. Karya Vinayak which translates as Work Ganesh is worshipped to begin any work, project or any endeavor for the success of it. Tuesday and Saturday are considered auspicious days to visit the temple.
