Description

In this location, you can find both the Dharmeshwar Mahadev Temple and the Dharmakupa Temple. There is also a significant well on the premises, known as Dharmakupa. Legend has it that this well was constructed before the Ganges river descended to Earth. It is believed to have been built by Suryaputra Yama, the son of the sun god, sometime before the Ganga’s arrival on Earth. With the blessings of Lord Shiva, the naming ceremony of Yamraj, the god of death, is said to have taken place at this sacred site.

During the period of the Mahabharata, Dharmaraja Yudhishthira, one of the Pandava brothers, is said to have come to this location and performed penance dedicated to Yamraj, while keeping his presence a secret. This adds to the temple’s historical and mythological significance.

Notes:

• The Dharmeshwar Temple has specific timings for worship.
• Devotees can visit the temple from 5:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
• Aarties (rituals) are performed at 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., creating a spiritual atmosphere for worship.
• Performing pooja at the Dharmeshwar Temple during the month of Kartik (which falls between October 20 and November 20), specifically on Shukla Paksha Ashtami (the 8th day after Amavasya, the new moon day), is considered highly auspicious.
• Additionally, there is a nearby well known as Dharma Koop, and it’s believed that conducting Shraddha Karma (rituals for ancestors) here after taking a bath in Dharma Koop is equivalent to performing Shraaddh (ancestral rites) in Gaya, a revered pilgrimage site for such rituals.
• For any special poojas or rituals, it is advisable to consult with the Poojari (temple priest) in advance for guidance and arrangements.
