Siddha Pokhari located at the Dudhpati, Bhaktapur is a large rectangular pond created during the 15th century by King Yakshya Malla. During the next day of Indra Jatra Festival (known as Ashwin Krishna Dwitiya), a large fair takes place on the Siddha Pokhari where devotees worship Goddess Indrayani after taking holy dip into the pond.
