Dungeshwor Temple, Hindu temple in Dailekh District, Nepal.
Dungeshwor Temple sits where the Loohre and Karnali rivers meet at 544 meters elevation. The complex contains two main shrines dedicated to different deities on this sacred confluence point.
During the 1800s, King Prithvi Narayan Shah moved sacred objects from this temple to Hanuman Dhoka in Kathmandu. This action linked the site to royal authority and kingdom-wide religious traditions.
This temple serves as the center of a pilgrimage route connecting five sacred sites across the region. Visitors come to participate in ceremonies that shape the spiritual rhythm of the area.
The temple is accessible by local transportation and a bridge near the Karnali highway that connects to Dullu Municipality. Visit during major festival periods when ceremonies occur and access is most active.
A natural sacred flame burns inside the temple, an unusual feature that visitors seldom expect to find. This phenomenon draws believers seeking spiritual connection to something truly remarkable.
