Bageshwori Temple (Nepali: बागेश्वरी मन्दिर) is one of the most important Hindu temples in Nepal. It is at the center of Nepalgunj, the biggest city in mid-western development region, now in Lumbini province after restructuring of Nepal in federalism. It is dedicated to goddess Bageshwori- Durga.[1] The temple area also houses another famous temple- the temple of Shiva with mustache, which is one of the only two such temples in the country.[2]
