Deuti Bajai
Deuti BajaiDeuit Bajai is the most famous Hindu Temple in Surkhet and entire Midwestern Region of Nepal. This temple is a local temple which is located in Latikoili VDC in Surkhet. Specially, its history is relative with "RAJI" society's people. Long time ago only Raji society’s people were allowed to pray in this temple.

Every day people from near and far come to pray and make BHAKAS (promise with god). People from every community and class are welcome here. They start their new Job, married life, business and other important work by worshiping in this temple and receiving blessings of goddess.

The temple area is a national heritage site and the government along municipality is trying to make best of the service for the Religious tourists. On the occasion of festivals a huge crowd is found here. Early morning local shops are full with prayer goodies (ghanti, prasad, flower, leaves, scented sticks, dhawja, sweets, matchbox etc.) and are decorated at both side of road. It gives a very nice pleasure when walking through seeing such busy shops, especially small boys and girls who give you a perfect smile and inviting you to purchase some goodies from their stalls.

Near the entrance of the temple a small wooden bridge welcomes for all visitors. When we stand on that bridge and see around the valley, the scene is really pleasurable. That clear water below bridge, small fishes in to the water and couple of swans searching for those fishes, this is truly an unforgettable picture which will attract you again and again.

“La hajur photo khichaunus”, is the sentence which is used by local photographers for inviting people to get clicked with family and friends. These photographers will frequently force you to pay little attention towards them. Photography is also a good source of income in Birendranagar also helping people to capture such beautiful memories with friends and family.

While coming back, local mouth watering dishes for breakfast (aloo chop, tea, namkeen, jalebi, local bananas and many others) with refreshment (lassi, cold drinks) awaits for visitors.

Deuti Bajai is on the top of tourist spot but it lacks many basic facilities. Clean drinking water, public convenience (toilets, luggage and shoe stalls) and good security are required. Deuti Bajai is in high need of a good management to make the location more clean, attractive and spacious. Overall visitors find this place as a perfect tourist destination especially by youngsters and new comers in Surkhet District.
