Tal Varahi Tourism

Tal Varahi Temple, also known as the Lake Temple, is a revered Hindu temple situated on a small island in the Phewa Lake of Pokhara, Nepal. It is dedicated to the goddess Varahi, an incarnation of Durga who is worshipped in the form of a boar. According to the local belief, the Varahi deity protects the Pokhara region and is highly esteemed by the local population. The temple showcases traditional Nepalese architecture with a pagoda-style structure, featuring intricately carved wooden struts and a tiled roof. Visitors typically reach the temple via a short and scenic boat ride across the lake. The importance of Tal Varahi lies not only in its religious significance but also in its position as a cultural landmark amidst the tranquil natural beauty of Phewa Lake. The surroundings offer a panoramic view of the Annapurna mountain range and its reflection on the lake's surface, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the temple. The temple is especially busy during Saturdays, as it is considered an auspicious day for worshiping the goddess.
