Lonely Planet review for Uma Maheshwar Temple
En route from Kumbeshwar Temple to Durbar Sq, the small and inconspicuous double-roofed Uma Maheshwar Temple is set back from the road on its eastern side. Peer inside the temple (a light will help) to see a very beautiful black-stone relief of Shiva and Parvati in the pose known as Uma Maheshwar - the god sitting cross-legged with his shakti (consort) leaning against him rather seductively. A similarly named temple near the Golden Temple has a similar statue.
