Kalika Bhagawati Temple, Hindu temple near Kali Gandaki River, Baglung, Nepal

The temple complex features four cardinal entrances and contains multiple smaller shrines dedicated to Shiva, Radha Krishna, and Lakshmi Narayan deities.

The temple originated when King Pratap Narayan Singh Malla received a Kalika idol as dowry, which became immovable during his return journey.

The temple attracts numerous Hindu devotees and Tantric practitioners who perform ceremonies and rituals to honor goddess Kali, a manifestation of Shakti.

The temple grounds provide dedicated spaces for marriage ceremonies and include market areas where visitors can purchase materials for religious offerings.

Since 2016, the temple has replaced the traditional practice of pigeon sacrifices with a ceremonial release of the birds as symbols of peace.
