The Bagmati River rises within the municipality in the Shivapuri forest. Its best known sites are the Gokarna Mahadev temple, built in 1582, and the Kanti Bhairav temple, where people bathe and make offerings for their fathers on Gokarna Aunsi in late summer. The Gokarna Forest Reserve and Nepal Medical College lie nearby. The name is Sanskrit and means the lord with cow ears, an epithet of Shiva.
