Taleju Temple was built in 1671 during the reign of King Srinivasa Malla, the fifth Malla ruler of Patan to honour the female royal deity, Taleju Bhawani. The goddess served as the Malla kings' tutelary deity as her secret mantra was thought to ensure uninterrupted royal rule and was passed from one king to his successor only when death appeared imminent.
Taleju Temple stands in the northeast corner of the Mul Chowk (main courtyard) of the palace and includes a three-tier octagonal roof, whereas Degutale Temple, another manifestation of Taleju, stands in the northwest corner. Degutale and Taleju temples are often mistaken for one another.
