Panga, located south-west of Kirtipur Municipality is a typical Newari settlement where the old Newar culture and traditions are still alive. The village is surrounded by the villages of Chobhar, Nagaon and Chhugaon and the historical centre of Kirtipur. The Champadevi hill stretches in the south. Panga is also known as "Shankhapur", named after Lord Bishnu. Hari Binayak (Ganesh ) temple of Dhusi Tole and Hari Shanker (Bishnu) temple of Lachhi tole are the most ancient temples of the village. A small river, Chikhu, separates Panga and Kirtipur and the name Panga is derived from the terms ‘Pagu’ or ‘Pa’ for 'separated' and 'Gan' or ‘Gaon’ for village, afterwards it turned to Panga. There are two main temples, one is Narayan, another is Vishnu Devi.
