    The Silu Mahadev Temple, dedicated to Shiva, is in the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. There were several sculptures of Hindu gods within the temple. This ancient temple collapsed in the 1934 earthquake and only the base of the original structure remained. The stairway along the height of the stepped base is guarded by three pairs of animals. A modern dome-shaped shrine was built on top of the original base, and it collapsed in the April 2015 earthquake. People call the temple Fasi Dega because of its pumpkin-like shape.

    The original Silu Mahadev Temple was probably built around the 9th century.
