Arjundhara Temple

Arjundhara Temple is also known as the second Pashupatinath of Nepal. It is located 5.5 km north of Birtamod and situated west of Sanischare Bazaar lies in Arjundhara Municipality. According to legends, during Mahabharat time, disguised Arjun to quench the thirst of King Birat’s cows (which were returning with him, after the release from the abduction by Kaurabas) had shot an arrow to generate water. Hence, it is called Arjundhara.

Devotees from Jhapa and nearby districts of Nepal, and Darjeeling, Sikkim, and the north-eastern part of India mostly visit during Teej, Shivaratri, and Balachaturdashi. Arjundhara Temple resembles Pashupatinath Temple and is situated in the middle of a pond.

Arjundhara Temple is marked on the postage stamp in 2055 by the Government of Nepal and lies 29 km north of Chandragadi Airport.
