Kankalini Temple, Hindu temple in Saptari District, Nepal.

The stone temple structure stands near Mahendra Highway in Bhardaha, featuring traditional Nepali architectural elements with decorative carvings on its walls and pillars.

Construction of the temple began after workers discovered a stone statue of Durga while digging the foundations for a new settlement in Bhardaha.

During the Dashain festival, thousands of Hindu devotees from Nepal and India gather at the temple to perform ritual offerings to Goddess Kankalini.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking daily flights to Rajbiraj Airport from Kathmandu, followed by a 20-kilometer drive along Mahendra Highway.

The temple functions as a Shakti Peetha, a sacred site where devotees believe divine energy transfers directly from the goddess to her followers.
