Goddess Harati covers special significance among the Newar Buddhists of the Kathmandu Valley. She is known as savior and protector of children. The legend has it that the Buddha taught her to protect children and be mother of all human beings. Newars perform "chhahayekegu" (छाहाकयेकेगु) at the Harati or Ajima temple, next to Swayambhu, to pay gratitude the mother-goddess for taking care of children.
