*Bajrayogini**
Ward No. 8 of Shankharapur Municipality is primarily known as the Bajrayogini area, corresponding to the north-western part of the former Bajrayogini Village Development Committee (VDC).[4][5] This ward encompasses traditional toles (neighborhoods) typical of rural Kathmandu Valley municipalities, though specific names are not detailed in census aggregates; Shankharapur Municipality as a whole reports 145 toles across its 9 wards.[6]
*Bajrayogini** is renowned for the ancient Bajrayogini Temple, featuring nine sacred caves used for meditation and worship, set in a hilly, culturally rich landscape near the historic Newar town of Sankhu.[3][5] The area reflects Shankharapur’s heritage from merged VDCs like Bajrayogini, blending rural tranquility with religious significance, and serves as home to the ward office handling local governance and health services.[1][8]
