Shiva Garden

Shiva Garden is a small garden on a mountain in southern Nepal that is an important pilgrimage center in the country as it houses several statues of Hindu deities, including the world’s highest statue of the god Shiva, Kailashnath Mahadev. She represents the standing god Shiva with a scepter and a cobra around her neck.

Shiva Garden is located on the border of the smallest Nepali district of Bhaktapur and Kavrepalonchok, twenty kilometers southeast of the capital of Nepal – Kathmandu. Its creation began in 2004, when a statue of the god Shiva was conceived on this site. It was designed for several years and completed only in 2011. It's made of copper, cement, zinc and steel. To date, this 44-meter statue is the tallest monument of Shiva in Nepal, and it is also in the list of the world’s tallest statues at 32 positions.

About five thousand people visit the statue of Shiva and its garden every day, the most visitors during Nepali national holidays and festivals, as well as on weekends.
