Just 200m South of I Baha Bahi, a large water tank marks the entrance to a courtyard strewn with wooden beams. In the center is the brightly painted, two-tired Minnath Temple, dedicated to the Bodhisattva Jatadhari Lokesvara, Who is considered to be the little brother of Rato Machhendranath The Temple was founded in the Licchavi period (3rd the 9th Centuries) but the Multi-armed goddesses on the roof struts were added much later. Note the metal pots and pans nailed to the temple rafters by devotees. The timbers surrounding the temple are assembled into a chariot every year to haul the statue of Minnath around town as part of the Rato Machhendranath Festival.
