Chandannath Temple, Hindu temple in Khalanga Bazar, Jumla District, Nepal.
The Chandannath Temple complex stands at 2,514 meters elevation, featuring multiple religious structures dedicated to Hindu deities including Dattatreya and Bhairav.
The temple emerged during the Kallala Dynasty period, when a person from Kashmir brought a statue of Dattatreya to establish this religious center.
The temple holds annual ceremonies where local residents participate in replacing a 52-foot wooden pillar during Ghatasthapana, the first day of Dashain.
Visitors can reach the temple via regular flights from Nepalgunj to Jumla Airport, followed by local transport to Khalanga Bazar.
A local tradition states that the temple location was determined when a cow repeatedly offered milk at this specific spot, marking it as sacred ground.
