Dhirdham Temple
About Dhirdham Temple
Dhirdham Temple stands as a significant Hindu place of worship in Darjeeling, India, established in 1939 through the patronage of Rai Saheb Purna Bahadur Pradhan, a benefactor from Nepal. The temple's architectural design was conceived by Beg Raj Shakya and deliberately mirrors the aesthetic and structural elements of the celebrated Pashupatinath Temple located in Kathmandu, creating a spiritual and cultural bridge between the two regions. This architectural homage reflects the deep historical and religious connections between Nepal and the Darjeeling region.
