Kusunti (कुसुन्ती) is located in Lalitpur, a metropolitan city in Nepal. The area is small and is heavily populated. The flow of people is caused by an excavation of a large monument of Lord Shiva with live snakes in the area. It is believed that one of the local residents dreamt of the monument being under the earth. Moreover, she told the locals about the order of God to unearth the monument. This was found to be true, and afterwards a flow of Hindus from all over the country to pay their homage to Lord Shiva. Currently, a temple surrounds the statue of Lord Shiva and is famous as Pancheswor Mahadev (पञ्चेश्वर महादेव) throughout the area and around the country.

The native residents are people with caste; Limbu, Bogati, Dhungana, KC, Gajurel, Khadka, etc. In a short span of time, the area is turning into a high class residence.
