Budha Subba Temple

Budha Subba Temple is a famous religious temple which is located in Bijayapur, Dharan, eastern part of Nepal. It is believed that visiting to this temple makes the wishes come true and bring good luck in life. Earlier, Buddhi Karna Raya Khewang, last Limbu king of Morang was tricked into coming Bijayapur and then was killed by the assassins of king Prithivi Narayan Shah. It is believed that his soul was wandered around the area of his tomb around Bijayapur and was said to have friendly and helpful spirit. So, local Limbu people started worshipping the soul believing it to bring good luck. There used to be a legend kiranti hunter Budha Subba who gave up hunting when he missed his aim for crow and hit the tip of bamboo. From that day, the tip of bamboo tree never grew back. So, Budha Subba gave up hunting burying his slingshot and started meditation. Temple is standing on the same spot where he meditated and temple’s name is given on his name.

The attraction about this place is it is mainly famous for its bamboos without tips/sharp tips. Many young couples write their name together on the bamboo poles believing that whoever writes their names on the bamboos here will be together forever. But in present days, due to danger of death of bamboo tree untimely, couples are not allowed to write their names anymore instead they tie the colorful sacred threads on the fastening the threads is believed to make your wanting come true and additionally unite you with you true love.

This temple is not only famous for Kiranti religion people but also for Hindus and young couples who visit this place for wishing their true love and healthy life.
