Gokarna Mahadev (The Gods of Gokarna) or Gokarneshwor Mahadev Temple[1] (The Lord of Gokarna) is an important
Nepali temple, situated near the village of Gokarna, several kilometers northeast of
Bodhnath in the
Kathmandu Valley. Within the temple's sanctum lies an important
lingam of the
Hindu god
Shiva, but its fame relies mainly on the collection of statues and carvings around the temple.
