Bhagwati Temple

Bhagwati Temple is a three-storey shrine in the center of Rajbiraj with multiple worship spaces inside. Behind the structure lies the sacred pond called Bhagwati Pokhari, which holds importance for worshippers.

The shrine was built in 1925 and has served as a central worship site for the Hindu community of the district. Over the decades, architectural improvements were made while its basic function remained unchanged.

The temple draws many pilgrims during Bada Dashain festival when traditional religious ceremonies take place. Worshippers come from across the region to express their devotion and participate in the celebrations.

Additional shrines to Hanuman, Shiva, and Bishwakarma are located in the complex, making it a comprehensive worship center. The location is easily accessible in the city center with space to move around and explore.

During the Chhath festival, worshippers gather at Bhagwati Pokhari to perform water-based rituals and make offerings. This festival shows a special connection between the shrine and those who visit it.
