The Krishna sanctuary on the west side of Patan's Darbar square was worked in 1637.Legend says that it was assembled due to a dream.One night, King Siddhi Narasigh Malla envisioned that the divine beings Krishna and Radha were remaining before the palace.The King requested a sanctuary based on the same spot.During a war with a neighboring kingdom 10 years lator, the King rose triumphant in the wake of approaching Krishna to vanquish his enemies.In appreciation, the King constructed an imitation of the sanctuary inside the Sundari Chauk yard.
The Krishna sanctuary is worked in the Shikhara style, imported from India.Beneath its 21 brilliant zeniths are three floors.The first floor cherishes Krishna, the second Shiva, and the third Lokeshwor.Scenes from the Ramayana described in Newari content enliven the inside of the sanctuary.
