Ashokdham Temple, Hindu temple in Lakhisarai district, India.
Ashokdham Temple is a Hindu shrine with multiple sanctums dedicated to different deities across its grounds. The complex features areas devoted to Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Nandi, and Goddess Durga arranged within a connected layout.
The site emerged in 1977 when two children discovered a large Shivlingam buried underground while playing. This finding led to the establishment of the temple complex that stands here today.
During Maha Shivratri, pilgrims from across different regions come here to participate in religious rituals and ceremonies. Visitors witness people in traditional dress moving through the temple, praying and circumambulating the sacred shrines.
The temple offers lodging options through its dharmshala where pilgrims can stay during their visit. Wear comfortable clothes and learn about local customs before arriving to enhance your experience.
Workers uncovered an ancient Vishnu idol near a pond within the temple grounds in 2018. This finding suggests the location holds religious importance older than its modern establishment.
