  Legends of Panuti: God Indra disguised himself Gautam Rishi was attracted by the seductive beauty of Ahilya, the wife of Gautam Rishi.

Indra, the king of the gods, was attracted by the seductive beauty of Ahilya, the wife of Gautam Rishi. In order to seduce the charming young woman, Indra disguised himself as Ahilya’s husband and thus took advantage of her. Because of this involuntary blemish, Ahalya changed into a rock, which can be seen in the courtyard of the temple. When the sage discovered what had happened he put a spell on Indra, causing Indra’s body to become covered with yonis(female sexual organs). Naturally Indra was somehow put out by this. Indra and his wife Indrayani had met at this auspicious confluence of rivers. Eventually Parvati and Shiva took pity upon Indrayani and turned her into the third invisible river Padmavati that joins the two visible ones in Panauti. Years pa

 Sati in Nepal (Fictional Visual representation by Image generation ) In the 16th century, in Nepal, lies the tale of Kaji Bhim Malla, an esteemed commander whose life became enmeshed in envy and deception during the reign of King Laxmi Narsimha Malla. As the dynasty flourished, Kaji Bhim's remarkable accomplishments incited resentment among palace adversaries, leading to false accusations that ultimately cost him his life. Yet the tragedy did not end with his demise. Rooted in tradition, the sati rite demanded the sacrifice of Kaji Bhim's wife, the king's own sister, on her husband's funeral pyre.
