This pat*a of NS 942(AD 1822) gives no name of the diety in the inscription. Only devotees names are given-5 male and 4 female. The image in dancing posture with Naravahana (man-vehicle) seems to be any Yogini. There are four famous Yoginis in kathmandu valley, namely, Khadgayogini, Vajrayogini, Vijayesvari(vidhyadhari) and Vajravarahi.
This may be any one of them.
