There is a huge white temple of Phasidega near the office of Bhaktapur Muncipality on the eastern side of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The architectural structure of this temple resembles that of a pumpkin, so this temple is called Phasidega, (Phasi means pumpkin in Newari) The sanctum of the temple houses a Lingam of lord Shiva. The temple had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1934 AD. The temple sits over a five-tier plinth with elephants, lions and cows guarding the steps.
