Budhanath Temple

Vikramshila, Bihar, India
The Budhanath Temple is one of the oldest and most revered Hindu temples in Bhagalpur, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located on the banks of the Uttaravahini Ganga (the northward-flowing Ganges), the temple holds immense spiritual significance for the local population. The temple is believed to have been built during the Treta Yuga, and its reference can be found in the Shiva Puranas. The Shiva Lingam in the temple is believed to be Swayambhu, or self-manifested, a fact that adds to its sanctity and reverence. The temple's serene and tranquil environment, with the gushing river as a backdrop, provides a perfect escape for those who wish to spend some time in spiritual contemplation. The temple is a major pilgrimage site for Hindus and a must-visit for anyone who wishes to experience the cultural and spiritual traditions of the region.
