Shambhunath Temple, Hindu temple in Saptari District, Nepal

The stone temple stands 500 meters south of the East West Highway section of Shambhunath, featuring a central Shivalinga in its main shrine.

The temple complex underwent reconstruction in 1996, with parts of the original structure still visible in ruins on the western side.

During the month of Baishakh, the temple hosts a month-long mela celebration that brings together pilgrims from Nepal and India.

Visitors can access the temple by taking a bus from Rajbiraj city, located twelve kilometers away, with accommodations available in nearby towns.

The Shivalinga at the temple, established in Chandrabhoga Gadhi, measures six feet in length according to local records.
