Daunne Devi Temple, Hindu temple in Nawalparasi District, Nepal.

The Daunne Devi Temple stands at an elevation of 1033 meters above sea level on the route connecting Bardaghat to Dumkibas in Nepal.

Archaeological excavations near the temple in 1975 revealed three inscriptions, and a subsequent survey in 1996 uncovered ancient coins in the area.

The temple houses both a shrine to goddess Durga and a Shivalaya, attracting thousands of pilgrims during the month of Shrawan and festivals like Dashain.

Visitors can reach the temple through a short walk from the East-West highway, with the surrounding forest providing natural shade during the ascent.

Local beliefs associate the hill with meditation practices of Valmiki and Mayadevi, mother of Sakyamuni Buddha, connecting Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
