Bhagwati Temple: Bhagawati Temple was rebuilt by Colonel Ujir Singh Thapa, the
governor of Palpa in 1815 in commemoration of the victory over colonial
British Indian Forces in the battle fought at Butwal. He took oath to build a
large temple and organize chariot processions to Goddess Mahis Mardini if he
gets victory in the battle.
Bhagawati Temple is three small temples of Shiva, Ganesh and Saraswati, the
goddess of wisdom. Every August, a chariot procession of deities is paraded
through the town with military honor to observe the historic battle.
Shital Pati: Literally known as “Cool Resting Place’’ this octagonal landmark
was built by General Khadga Shamsher Jung Bahadur Rana during his tenure
(1891-1902 AD) as western commanding chief of Nepal, based in Tansen, Palpa.
Built in Mughal style, its unique architecture resembles a fort or a rook-
shaped castle tower piece in a chess board. Shital Pati is believed to have
been built a few years earlier than the Rani Mahal.
The Mul Dhoka (main gate) or Baggi Dhoka (gate for horse drawn carriage) as
the locals call it, is probably the only one of this size and dimension in
Nepal. The gateway leads to the famous Ranaujieshwori Bhagwati temple,
regarded as the guardian deity of Tansen and to the Tansen Durbar square which
since accommodated various district level government offices. There are fine
woodcarvings on the buildings on both sides of the gate, examples of the fine
Newari craftsmanship.
Tansen Durbar was built in 1927 AD by Pratap Shamsher Jung Bahadur Rana and
formed the grand palace that was the seat of the Rana governors. Though in
January 2006 during the Maoist insurgency it was destroyed, after the
abdication of the king a few months later, the palace was one of the first
government buildings to be restored
Amar Narayan Mandir: The large classic three-tiered pagoda style temple is
sacred to the Lord Vishnu. It was built in 1807 AD by the first governor of
Tansen, Amar Singh Thapa and is very beautiful with its carved wood deities.
The erotic carvings on the wooden struts are remarkable. The temple is
surrounded by one meter wide stone wall locally known as the Great wall of
Palpa. In the vicinity of the temple, there are two other temples. Mahadev
Mandir is found just below, sacred to Shiva and the other is to Vishnu Paduka.
