Siddha Pokhari

Siddha Pokhari or Ta Pukhu (Big Pond) located at Dudhpati (at the entrance of Bhaktapur city), is said to have been built in the 15th century during the reign of King Yaksha Malla. It turns into a focal point especially during Dashain festival (October-November). Measuring 275 meters by 92 meters, this oldest pond in Bhaktapur has quite a lot of fish in it.
