Gokarneshwor Mahadev Temple is in Gokarneshwor Ward 4, as confirmed by the municipality’s introduction. The ward also includes Deshe Gaun, a historic Newar settlement described in the municipal profile.

The temple and Deshe Gaun

The profile connects Gokarneshwor Mahadev with ancestral offerings at Kushe Aunsi, also associated with Gokarna Aunsi. It identifies Shrikanti Bhairav at Uttarbahini and describes Deshe Gaun’s Bhimsen, Ganesh and Taleju Bhawani temples, chaityas and local jatra traditions. The historic settlement adds a distinct destination alongside the better-known riverside temple.

For Attarkhel and the Nepal Medical College area, compare Ward 8. For Sundarijal, open Ward 1. Museum construction and homestay proposals in the 2077 BS publication do not establish current operating facilities.
