Dantakali Temple Tourism

Type of destination: Hindu Temple

Dantakali Temple in Dharan, Nepal, is a highly revered Hindu shrine located at the foothills of the Mahabharat Range. This sacred temple, nestled in the dense subtropical forest, honors Goddess Kali, particularly in the form of a 'tooth' relic related to the Goddess. It is believed that the tooth of Sati Devi, wife of Lord Shiva, fell at this spot when her burned body was being carried by a grieving Lord Shiva. Hence, it is considered one of the Shakti Peethas, and the temple stands where the tooth is said to have fallen. The presence of this relic makes the temple one of the most important pilgrimage destinations for devotees of Shakti and Tantra sects. Pilgrims from various parts of Nepal and India visit the temple, especially during religious festivals such as Dashain and Navaratri. The scenic beauty of Dharan and the serene ambiance of the temple, with the chants and prayers, create a spiritual atmosphere that is both peaceful and energizing.
