Dumu Temple is located in the southwest corner of the square. The name of Kathmandu comes from it. Although there is no exact historical record, the Dumu Temple is likely to be built in the 12th century. It is said that the timber of the whole building comes from a tree. At first, it was a gathering place for those who came to attend important ceremonies. Later, it became a temple dedicated to Gorakhnath. The statue of Gorakhnath is worshipped in the wooden cabin in the middle of the temple. Ganesh's statue can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, and there are some other shrines of gods. Bronze lions guard the gates, and Hindu symbols are depicted on the first floor of the three-storey building. Every morning, as porters sit in front of the canopy temple to solicit customers, the square, medieval building looks busy.

    Kasthamandap was a three-storied public shelter that included a shrine consecrated to Gorakshanath situated at Hanumandhoka, Kathmandu. The word Kasthamandap literally translates to ‘Wood Shelter’ in English. The landmark was a popular tourist site for ages

    The Dumu Temple was originally a public house where pilgrims and passers-by rested, and was later built as a temple. The Temple played a very important role in Kathmandu's urban history. Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, means a single wooden temple in Nepalese. The temple is open. When you enter the dummy temple, you can see the statue of Gorakhnath in the log cabin in the middle of the temple. Ganesh's statue can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, as well as some other shrines of gods. Many citizens in Kathmandu are burning incense and worshipping, and we have silent wishes in our hearts.
