Bhairabkunda Shiva Mandir, Hindu temple in Samdrup Jongkhar District, Bhutan
The Bhairabkunda Shiva Mandir stands at the convergence point of the Jampani and Bhairabi rivers, which form the Dhansiri River in southeastern Bhutan.
Following the 1950 Assam-Tibet earthquake that affected the original structure, a new temple was constructed between 2002 and 2005 at the current location.
The temple holds the distinction of being the sole Shakti Peetha in Bhutan, making it a central place for Hindu religious practices in the country.
Located 24 kilometers from Udalguri, India, the temple provides access to visitors through maintained roads from both Bhutan and neighboring Indian states.
A cave beneath the temple marks the location where, according to religious texts, Lord Shiva meditated and discovered a natural Shiva Ling.
