Chyasim Deval Krishna Temple may have been built in 1723 by Yogamati, the daughter of King Yog Narendra Malla as a memorial to her son Lok Prakash. The word "Chyasim" or "Chyasing" means eight-sided, in reference to its octagonal plan.
The Chyasim Deval survived the April 2015 earthquake largely intact.
