    A quick way is to ask the temple office staff when you arrive. They usually have a plaque or booklet that gives the basic dates most say the site dates back to the early medieval period and was commissioned by a local king devoted to Shiva. The Swayambhu claim is also noted on the main shrine wall, so you can see the inscription right there. If you have a few minutes, stop at the small information kiosk beside the entrance; they often hand out a short brochure with the history and a map of the surrounding area.
