In the past , the water source in the pond used to be from Rajkulo . But in the present context , the water in the Dyo Pukhu dries up during dry season . Water in the pond is usually refilled by the water tanks during festival times.De pukhu means God pond in English . The Rudrayani temple used to be six floors but when an earth quake broke it was destroyed into 3 floors the rest of the parts somehow fell into the pond so it is called De pukhu Besides the De Phukhu , there are other ponds all around Khokana . Most of the ponds were fed by Rajkulo all the way from Tika Bhairab . The major ponds around Khokana includes Jitapur mandap , also known in local language as ‘ Gaa-cha ’ is a public rest house located in the Kwe-lachi square where major social activities like cultural processions and religious performances are observed . Jitapur mandap is one of the major landmark where the ‘ khat ’ of the Rudrayani is rested during the Rudrayani jatra . The mandap was completely destroyed during the 2015 Nepal earthquake and was reconstructed in its present shape by Chiri Maya Maharjan ( Daughter of Khokana ) , Kathamandu
