Hanuman ghat is revered as one of the holiest places of Bhaktapur. This place is a cluster of idols of different deities and shrines. The largest idol of Shivalinga in Nepal is located here. It was made during the rule of King Bhupatindra MaIla. Hanumante stream flows nearby. Water from this stream is offered to the god during the religious ceremony. It is believed that during the Tretrayug, lord Ram and his faithful worshipper Hanuman (monkey god) stopped by the area and ate curd with beaten rice. This place is also considered holy for cremation and performing the after death rituals like Shraddha.
