Lal-Bandh is one of the seven bandhs, or tanks, built by the Malla Rulers to confine their Fort from any alien attack.

Lal-Bandh is the most famous among these all. One of the major reasons being an abundance of temples situated along the southern bank of the tank. ‘Lal-Bandh’ derived its name from and after the death of Lal-Bai, after she committed suicide, by entering the tank LOCALS BELIEVED SHE WAS KILLED BY TYING HER AND HER BABY ON A BOAT LADEN WITH STONES BY THE ARMY AND SUBJECTS OF MALLA DYNASTY.

Till date the Lal-Bandh has a statement to establish the grandeur and prosperity it had witnessed during the glorious rule of the Mallas. |
