    Char Narayan, also called the Jagat Narayan, is perhaps the oldest temple in Patan's Darbar Square. Unlike other temples in the square, it is constructed primarily of brick. It was built in 1566 to memorialize the father of Purandar Singh, a nobleman who controlled the Kathmandu area in the late 16th century. It honours Narayan, another name for Vishnu.

    The temple was completely levelled because of the April 2015 earthquake. Char Narayan Temple was completely restored as of January 2020
