About 250 mtrs beyond Pashupatinath temple, on the left bank of the river Bagmati, the temple of Sati, Lord Shiva’s consort, stands in the middle of the paved courtyard surrounded by rows or rest houses. This temple has the usual arched construction of tubular metal work covering the main building. Towards the top it transforms itself into four gilded snakes which support the crowning piece of the roof. The whole structure of the temple is designed after the tantric yantra or geometric triangle, signifying the female principle of procreation.
