Doleshwor Mahadev is considered to be the head part of Kedarnath, one of the most sacred shrines in Hinduism located in Uttarakhand, India. According to legend, the head of the deity Kedarnath appeared here as Doleshwor Mahadev, and it is believed that visiting Doleshwor Mahadev is equivalent to visiting Kedarnath.

The temple’s origins are rooted in deep mythology linked to the Mahabharata, where Lord Shiva disguised himself as a bull to avoid the Pandavas. The site where Doleshwor Mahadev is located is believed to be where the head of this bull was found.

The temple is a focal point for many Hindu festivals, including Maha Shivaratri, when thousands of devotees visit to offer prayers, milk, and holy water to Lord Shiva. The festive atmosphere, rituals, and spiritual chants during these celebrations are profoundly moving and provide deep insight into Hindu devotional practices.

Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and traditional Newari architecture, the temple offers a tranquil environment for meditation and prayer. Its serene atmosphere provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Located just a few kms from Inn Of Dreams, Doleshwor Mahadev is easily accessible for guests staying at Inn Of Dreams, making it an ideal spiritual activity for our guests.
