Dungeshwor Temple, Hindu temple in Dailekh District, Nepal.

Dungeshwor Temple stands at the confluence of the Loohre and Karnali rivers, positioned 544 meters above sea level in Karnali Province.

During the mid-1800s, King Prithvi Narayan Shah transferred sacred items from the temple to Hanuman Dhoka in Kathmandu, establishing connections with royal traditions.

The temple complex contains two main sanctuaries dedicated to Shideshwor Mahadev and Dungal Temple, serving as a central point among five Panchkoshi locations.

The temple remains accessible through local transportation options and connects to Dullu Municipality via a bridge near the Karnali highway.

The temple houses a natural holy flame and opens specifically on Vijayadashmi day, when religious ceremonies commence with music from Ghatasathapana through Dashain.
