About Naradevi Ajima

Nyatabhulu Ajima, also known as Naradevi or Sweta Kali, is a powerful wrathful mother goddess and protective deity deeply revered within the indigenous Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley. Traditionally worshipped as a guardian force, she is enshrined at the historic three tiered pagoda style Naradevi Temple in Kathmandu, located along an ancient trade route. According to local traditions and historical chronicles, her worship is associated with a protective tantric force believed to safeguard the city and its people.

Her sacred presence is celebrated during the annual Pahan Charhe festival and on a grand scale every 12 years during the Barabarse Naradevi Swetkali Parba. During this major festival, masked dancers are traditionally believed to embody the fierce presence of Sweta Kali, expressing her protective power and helping renew spiritual strength within the community. For devotees, Nyatabhulu Ajima Statue represents protection, courage, spiritual power, and the enduring sacred heritage of Newar culture and Kathmandu Valley.
