Kankeshwari Temple on the banks of the Vishnumati River. The temple is consecrated to Chamunda, one if the eight Matrikas, but there are no icons within the shrine, only a plain tantric one. The temple marks the place where in days before Jung Bahadur the whole town gathered on the day of Sithi and after dividing into two groups, threw stones at each other. Any captive of the rival party was captured and sacrificed to Kankeshwari.
