Dantakali Temple, Hindu temple in Bijayapur Village, Dharan, Nepal.

The Dantakali Temple stands at an elevation of 479 meters in the mountains of Bijayapur, featuring traditional pagoda architecture and mountain views.

According to Hindu texts, the temple marks the location where the teeth of Goddess Sati fell after Lord Shiva carried her lifeless body across the land.

During the Dashain festival, the temple grounds become the center of religious ceremonies, including traditional animal offerings on Maha Asthami day.

The temple sits 3 kilometers from central Dharan, with multiple accommodation options nearby, including TEC Resort, YOLO Resort, and Hotel Verandah.

The temple name combines two Sanskrit words: 'Danta' meaning teeth and 'Kali' referring to the goddess, reflecting its connection to Sati Devi.
