*Pokharinarayansthan** (also spelled Pokhari Narayansthan) is the primary village and main area name for Ward No. 5 of Temal Rural Municipality in Kavrepalanchok District.[8][2]
This ward corresponds directly to the former Pokharinarayansthan Village Development Committee (VDC), which was merged into Temal during the 2017 local restructuring.[8][2] Other settlements or toles within the ward are not explicitly detailed in available sources, though nearby areas like Sarasyunkhark (Ward 1) and the Ward 5 office vicinity include features such as फेदि पानी कानपुर (a spring) and साउने पधेराे.[1] Pokharinarayansthan is known for its historical Narayansthan Temple dedicated to Lord Narayan, a significant pilgrimage site featuring replicas of Boudhanath, Swayambhu, and Namobuddha stupas within its premises; the area also offers views of Himalayan ranges and lies on the eastern rim of Kathmandu Valley.[2][3] A demo retrofit house for post-2015 earthquake reconstruction was implemented here.[6]
