Harihar Dham, Hindu temple in Giridih district, India

The temple complex spans 25 acres of land and features a 65-foot tall Shivalinga, making it visible from considerable distances in the region.

The construction of this religious structure began in 1987 under the direction of Chief Justice Amarnath Mukhopadhyay of the Kolkata High Court.

During Shravan Poornima, thousands of devotees gather at the temple to perform rituals and offer prayers to Lord Shiva following Hindu traditions.

The temple stands 60 kilometers southwest of Giridih city, with regular bus services and private transportation options available from Parasnath railway station.

The temple records the highest number of Hindu marriage ceremonies annually, following a local custom known as Chat Mangni Pat Biyah.
