The Vatsala Durga (also known as the Vatsala Devi) is a monument dedicated to the Vatsala manifestation of the female deity Durga. The temple was the third Vatsala temple constructed in Bhaktapur's Durbar Square, following two earlier temples constructed by King Jitamitra Malla. The third temple was likely built in the 1690s by King Bhupatindra Malla, the son of Jitamitra Malla. The structure survived intact until 1934, when it was partially destroyed in the great earthquake, which levelled numerous other Bhaktapur structures, many of which were not reconstructed. The Vatsala Durga was eventually rebuilt; it was destroyed again in the April 2015 earthquake. The temple was restored to a close approximation of its original condition, and completed in early 2020.
