called Datta-Traya Square. In fact this
is the second important urban spot of
Bhadgaon. The Datta-Traya Temple also

the 17th century is a famous pagoda
carrying an amusing history. This is a
wooden temple facing west; it is
believed that the timber used for its
relevant construction was sawed out of a
single tree. So you can imagine how big
the tree must have been. The square has
been nomen clatured from the name of the
Deity itself. The three-storied temple
is dedicated to the three-headed Deity
of the orthodox Hindus. It symbolizes
the divine triad, a mere combination of
Brahma (the Creator), Bishnu (the
Preserver) and Maheshwor (the
Destroyer). The square as a whole can be
regarded as a marvelous gallery of
intricate wood carvings. One can smell
environments of medieval period around
the square. In the periphery of the
temple, you can also see monasteries,

a couple of handicraft quarters around

a master-piece indeed. Apart from these,
