Lhon: Dega: The locals call this monument Lhon: Dega, meaning Stone Temple. Built in around Malla Era, the interior of this monument is made of stones while the exterior is made of bricks, thus the name. Children in the days of yore used to play guchha and climb up the stairs. However, there is no deity inside the monument, there used to be a sculpture of Shesh Narayan but it no longer exists now.
