Monuments of Kathmandu valley
Vajra Jogini Temple - Sankhu
Nearby the village of Sankhu along the old trade route to Lhasa, tucked away among pine trees on top of a knoll, Vajrayogini is one of the most ancient Buddhist sites of Nepal. The shrine of Sankhu is the oldest of the four Vajrajogini shrines of the valley, one other is the shrine in the Pharphing area.
From the road at the foot of the hill we climbed a stairway towards the sacred area among dark pines. In a cramped, open area rise two gems of Nepalese architecture, the large three roofed temple dedicated to Vajrayogini and a smaller two-roofed temple to the right.

Vajrajogini temple


The Buddhist tantric Vajrajogini is represented in the gilt torana over the main doorway of the bigger temple. Her eight hands hold a variety of tantric symbols, the two main hands hold the chopper and the skull bowl, her topmost right hand brandishes a sword. Nevertheless the peaceful and serene aspect of this Vajrayogini is a peculiar Nepalese form of the naked terrifying blood thirsty traditional iconography. Yet she is not really a yogini at all, she is Ugratara the tantric form of Tara.
The gilt torana over the main doorway of the smaller two-roofed temple depicts a tantric form of Amitabha. North of the temple there are four small caityas dated from the fifth to the eight centuries.

A short stairway leads up to a courtyard with a hiti sunken fountain surrounded by rest houses and residential quarters.
In the northwest corner of the courtyard there is a tantric cave with inscriptions in Tibetan.
