Mundeshwari Temple, Hindu temple in Kaimur district, India

The octagonal temple stands at an elevation of 608 feet on Mundeshwari Hill, featuring stone carvings of deities on its entrance and four windows on each side.

Built in the 3rd century BC, this ancient temple contains a central Chatur Mukhalingam with four heads and remains one of India's continuously functioning religious structures.

The temple holds particular importance during Navratri celebrations, when thousands of devotees gather to participate in traditional rituals and communal offerings.

The temple complex operates daily from 6 AM to 6 PM and can be accessed through National Highway 2, connecting to major transportation hubs in Bihar.

The temple features a ten-armed Mahishamardini deity defeating a buffalo demon, while a Muslim doorkeeper maintains its entrance, demonstrating religious integration.
