Dhaneshwor Temple, Hindu temple in Kavrepalanchok District, Nepal.

The Dhaneshwor Temple features multiple roofs and houses a Panchamukhi Shivalinga with statues of Bhairav, Narayan, Laxminarayan, Hanuman, and other deities.

A Vaisya named Shiva Das established the temple after receiving wealth from Dhaneshwor, following a period of hardship and ridicule from his relatives.

The temple stands where Sati Devi's right ear fell while Lord Shiva carried her body, making it a significant location in Hindu mythology.

The temple sits one kilometer south of Banepa Bazaar, between Banepa and Panauti, at coordinates 27.629722 latitude and 85.521389 longitude.

Devotees gather at Dhaneshwor Temple during three major festivals: Dhanya Purnima, Shivaratri, and Bala Chaturdashi to perform religious ceremonies.
