Shiva temple, Muscat, Hindu temple in Muttrah, Muscat, Oman.
The Motishwar Mandir temple complex contains three separate worship spaces dedicated to Adi Motishwar Mahadev, Motishwar Mahadev, and Lord Hanuman.
The Bhatia Gujarati merchants from Sindh constructed this temple in 1909, establishing one of the first Hindu religious structures in the Middle East.
During major celebrations like Maha Shivaratri, over 20,000 Hindu devotees gather at the temple to perform traditional religious ceremonies and rituals.
Located near Al Alam Palace, the temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, welcoming between 400 to 2000 visitors.
The temple maintains a water well that remains full throughout the year despite its location in an arid desert environment.
