Hanuman Ghat aka Khorrahe at Bhaktapur’s ward No. 7, is a sacred pilgrimage site. The Tribeni confluence is a spot where ceremonies are done from birth to death. The confluence of the Bira river from Jagati and the Bhadra river from Maheshwari is also the source of another new river. Tamsa is the name of the river. It is a holy pilgrimage site because it is the confluence of the Bira, Bhadra, and Tamsa rivers. Ram, Sita, and Bajarambali Hanuman came to this location after conquering Lanka to bathe and sit on a large rock on the river’s bank.

Shree Ram occasionally observed Hanuman putting his hand behind his back and displaying the monkey species. My deception is how I feed you, Lord. He washed his hands in the Ganges after eating a fruit. The new river has been named Tribeni since it began to flow, and the name of this location has been changed to Hanuman Ghat. Hanuman is supposed to bath in Yash’s place once a day even today. Hanuman is reported to be able to see the way to the river when he comes to bathe. The Hanumante River, which travels in this direction, has many distinct shapes and sizes, and there is also Uttargaya in the southern part of the river. Uttargaya refers to the Ganges River as it flows north. Balmikeshwar Mahadev was founded by the sage Balmiki. This location also houses an ashram and the mausoleum of guru Balmiki.
