Indreshwar Mahadev Temple Tourism

Type of destination: Hindu Temple

Indreshwar Mahadev Temple is an emblem of ancient heritage located in the heart of Panauti, Nepal. As a significant Hindu temple, it is dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds an influential spiritual position. The temple, believed to have been constructed in the 13th century, stands at the confluence of two sacred rivers, Rosi and Punyamati. It features an intricate display of Newari architecture with wood carvings, multi-tiered roofs, and beautifully crafted struts. The temple is part of the Panauti Museum Complex and draws numerous visitors, especially during the Makar Mela festival, which occurs once every 12 years. This event turns the city into a vibrant spiritual hub. Locals believe the temple stands on a single stone, thus safe from earthquakes. Over time, Indreshwar Mahadev has become not just a place of worship but also a monument of immense historical and cultural significance. It remains a testament to the craftsmanship and religious devotion of the Newari people who have preserved the temple and its traditions for centuries.
