The article explores the places Yangal and Yambu. With the help of historical evidence, the author argues that Yangal and Yambu were the terms used in the Licchavi period. It is thought that Yangal is the old name of Lagan and Yambu for the Bhedhasing where White (Seto) Machindranath temple existed. Both terms start from "Yan" which in Newari means "place."
