Shri Katyayani Baneshwar Temple, Aversa, Hindu temple in Aversa, Uttara Kannada District, India.

Shri Katyayani Baneshwar Temple is a Hindu temple in the coastal town of Aversa near Ankola, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka. It is also known as the Aversa Hindu Narayani and is managed by the Shri Katyayani Baneshwar Temple Trust. The temple houses the original idols of Katyayani, Baneshwar, Grampurush, Nirakar, Rampurush, Kalabhairav, Daad and other deities brought from Goa.

The temple traces its origins to Goa, where Saraswat Brahmin families kept the sacred idols before moving them to Aversa during the period of Portuguese colonial rule. The relocation brought the tradition to a new place, where it has continued ever since.

Shri Katyayani is the Kuladevi, or family deity, for many Konkani Gaud Saraswat Brahmins, Saraswat Brahmins, Daivajnya Brahmins and Konkani Kharvis, who come here to honour their household goddess. The temple is looked after by the Shri Katyayani Baneshwar Temple Trust.

The temple stands in Aversa, about 10 km from the taluka headquarters of Ankola and 25 km from the district headquarters at Karwar. The nearest railway station is Harwada on the Konkan Railway, 2 km away; Karwar's main station is 28 km off and the port of Karwar is the closest harbour. Dabolim airport in Goa lies 120 km away and Mangalore airport about 250 km.

The entire complex runs on solar power, which is rare for a religious site of this kind in the region. Visitors who look around the grounds can spot the solar panels that supply all the electricity used by the buildings.
