Chintang Devi temple

The temple complex features traditional Nepali architectural elements with intricate carvings and designs located at an elevation in Dhankuta district.

The temple, established over 1,000 years ago, stands as a testament to the religious devotion of both Kirati and Hindu communities in the region.

During the full moon of Baisakh, the temple hosts a significant festival where local communities gather to perform traditional ceremonies and rituals.

A Kirat priest manages the temple premises and conducts daily rituals, while specific entry restrictions apply to women after reaching menstruation age.

The temple derives its name from Chintang, one of seven daughters of Budhahang, and sits along the path to the ancient pilgrimage site of Barahakshetra.
