In the village of Chobar is the curious Adinath Lokeshwar Temple, originally built in the 15th century. It’s a handsome three-tiered Newari temple and its roof struts, walls and courtyard are adorned with hundreds of metal plates, cups, dishes, knives, ladles and ceremonial vessels, nailed there by newlyweds to ensure a happy married life. The temple is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, and in front is an octagonal stone shikhara temple fronted by a gilded dorje symbol. The compound suffered some damage in the 2015 earthquake.
A tangle of lanes leads off the square in front of the temple to the main part of the village and a small Tibetan Buddhist monastery.
