Eklavya temple, Hindu temple in Khandsa, Gurgaon, India
The Eklavya temple contains a single prayer room with traditional Hindu architectural elements and an adjacent pilgrim accommodation building called Eklavya Dharamshala.
The temple was established in 1721 at the exact location where, according to the Mahabharata, the archer Eklavya cut off his thumb as an offering to Guru Dronacharya.
Members of the Bhil community regularly travel from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to this temple, maintaining their connection with Eklavya's heritage through rituals.
The Gurugram Sanskritik Gourav Samiti manages the temple operations, while local guides provide detailed information about the site's connection to the Mahabharata.
This temple stands as the only Hindu shrine worldwide dedicated to Eklavya, featuring the burial site of his sacrificed thumb beneath its foundation.
