Alkohiti and Chakupat are key place names in Lalitpur Ward 11. The municipal profile records Kumbheshwar Temple and a network of historic water spouts, including Alkohiti, Tapahiti, Basahiti and Amritahiti.
Kumbheshwar is a five-storey Shiva temple associated with Janai Purnima observances. Beyond the temple, the ward profile names Alko Ganesh, Chakupat’s Khatal Ganesh and several Buddhist courtyards. Tanani and Nagdol also appear in the current ward programme.
A hiti is a traditional water-spout site, so these names describe particular places as well as the addresses around them. For Chyasal and Shankhamul, explore Ward 9; for Mangalbazar and Manga Hiti, continue to Ward 12.
