It is believed that his queen possessed divine powers, which only her devotee Lakhan Thapa knew about. One day, the king witnessed his queen in Goddess incarnation, and Lakhan Thapa in the form of a lion. Upon mentioning the revelation to his queen, a mysterious death befell the king. As per the custom of that time, the queen committed SATI (ritual immolation) on her husband’s funeral pyre. The service is from kurintar, just to Manakamana temple.

The cable car usually operates during the daytime from 9 am to 5 pm and stops during lunch break from 12 noon to half past one.
