Malla (Shri Niwas Malla)
History & significance One of the four celebrated Vinayaka shrines of the Kathmandu valley, dedicated in 1661 near Bungamati under the local leader Purna Singh at the start of Shri Niwas Malla's reign. Worship began at a natural stone shaped like Ganesha, now sheathed in silver, and devotees come before starting new undertakings.

Not yet sourced: how to reach it, its sthala katha, who paid for it and a source beyond Wikipedia.
Those are gaps in our citations, not in the record of the site. A field appears here only once we can cite it, so an absent one means the sourcing is still to do — most of these facts are well attested somewhere we have not read yet: a gazetteer, an inscription volume, the temple’s own office. We omit rather than guess.
