Bells, butter lamps & quiet devotion
Hindu temple of Bhairab about 9 km northwest of Tansen at about 1,470 m elevation, famous for its giant trident (described as the biggest in Nepal/Asia).

Worship peaks on Mahaastami of Dashain and in the month of Mangsir; Tuesday and Saturday are the main worship days, animal sacrifices and Pancha Bali are performed, and the prasad is 'Rot', a rice-flour bread fried in ghee.
