History Story :
Legend
has it that Queen of Gorkha King Ram Shah (A. D. 1614 - 1636) possessed divine powers known only to her devotee Lakhan Thapa.
One day, the King found his Queen as Goddess. Following the revelation, he mentioned it to his Queen and suddenly died. He
was cremated and his Queen committed sati on his funeral pyre, as per the custom. She consoled her lamenting devotee Lakhan
saying she would reappear near his home. Six months later, a farmer ploughing his field hit a stone, cleaved it and blood
and milk flowed which ceased when Lakhan worshipped it with his tantric knowledge. The site became foundation of the present
shrine. The present pujari is the 17th
generation descendent of Lakhan Thapa. The Shrine of Manakamana renovated many times over the
centuries has four story pagoda style roofs with entrance from the South-west. The pujari performs daily prayers and ritual
in the temple behind closed doors by offering eggs, oranges, rice, red powder and strips of cloth to the deities. On completion
of the pooja of the shrine by the priest, the turn of the public begins.
Manakamana temple lies 12 Km south of historic town
Gorkha and located on a prominent ridge (1302 mt. above sea level) overlooking the river valleys of Trisuli (south) and Marshyangdi
(west). The unique location of the place is dramatized during winter when the ridge appears as an island above the sea of
morning mist.
People believe Manakamana Devi fulfills the wishes
of her devotees, thus called the wish fulfilling deity.
The reward on reaching the shrine is both spiritual and physical exhilaration. Spectacular views include deep valleys, terraced
fields and the Manaslu-Himalchuli and Annapurna ranges. In the past, the only access to the region was by arduous climb of
over five hours but one can now visit the shrine in comfort by Manakamana cable car.
