Barahi Temple is a significant Hindu temple located on an island in the Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal. This two-story pagoda-style temple is dedicated to the boar manifestation of Ajima, the deity representing the female force Shakti. It is a prominent religious site for both locals and tourists. To reach the temple, one must take a short boat ride, providing a spiritual ambiance along with scenic beauty. Boats are readily available from the lakeside and offer a pleasant trip across Phewa Lake, making the journey to the temple just as enjoyable as the visit itself. Devotees and sightseers flock to the temple, especially on Saturdays, to make animal sacrifices, typically chickens or ducks. The surroundings of the temple provide a serene atmosphere, and visitors are treated to panoramic views of the Annapurna range and the lush landscapes of Pokhara. The harmony of religion, nature, and culture at Barahi Temple makes it an iconic symbol and an integral part of the identity of Pokhara.
