There is a line in bible that is “your body is a temple of Holy Spirit’, but when you come across the saas bahu temple, you would feel that Holy Spirit also resides outside your body. This beautiful temple created for the sake of worship in amidst the din and bustle of daily life. This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu by the king Mahipala.

    This temple early name is Sahastrabahu which is another name of loud Vishnu but gradually the name changed and now we known this temple as saas bahu temple

          King Mahipala wished for the success of his Kingdom and the overall prosperity. This being ranted by The Lord, a temple was constructed to commemorate Lord Vishnu. So, the name Sahastrabahu was given to this temple which later in course of time changed into Sas Bahu Temple. The construction of this temple was completed in the year 1092 AD by the king Mahipala
