South of the ruined Jagannarayan Temple, this tall column used to be topped by a striking brass statue of King Yoganarendra Malla (1684–1705) and his queens, installed in 1700.Sadly, the column collapsed in the 2015 earthquake.
Behind the statue of the king are three smaller Vishnu temples , including a brick-and-plaster shikhara temple, built in 1590 to enshrine an image of Narsingha, Vishnu’s man-lion incarnation.
