Degutaleju Temple

This triple-roofed temple is actually part of the darker, red-brick Hanuman Dhoka, surmounting the buildings below it, but it is most easily seen from outside the palace walls. Despite some earthquake damage, the painted roof struts are particularly fine. Degutaleju is another manifestation of the Malla’s personal goddess Taleju.
