Water fountains and lights of different colors have been connected to the four corners of the lake connected to the temple, which has added to the beauty of the temple at night, said Assistant Manager Dhital.

How did CG Temple come to Establishment ?
Jagatguru and Shankaracharya Jayendra Sharaswati, who visited Nepal in 2002, blessed the late Lunkaran Chaudhary, the founder of the Chaudhary Group, for developing a positive attitude in people and building a sanctuary with a gurukula to produce sages and pundits.
To fulfill his father’s dream, Binod Chaudhary, chairman of the Chaudhary Foundation and a big industrialist on the list of world billionaires, has set up the shrine with the aim of making non-profit for the protection, promotion and study of the Eastern Sanatan Dharma. During the construction of the Dham, various saints and monks, including Guru Jagat Saraswati and the founder of the Art of Living, Rabi Shankar, had been giving advice and suggestions about the various monasteries and themes needed in the Dham.
