Palpa Bhairava Mandir

An enormous gilded trident stands in front of the Palpa Bhairava Temple, situated about 8 km (5 mi.) from Tansen on the Tamghas road. Inside the temple is a replica of the Kathmandu Kaalo Bhairava, so awesome, it is said, that normal mortals die at the sight of it - for which reason the door is kept locked. Animal sacrifices are made here on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
