Dungeshwari Hill Temples
The Dungeshwari Hill Temples, also known as the Mahakala Caves, are revered Buddhist and Hindu shrines nestled in the quiet hills near Bodhgaya. This sacred site marks the very place where Lord Buddha spent years in intense meditation and penance before attaining enlightenment at Bodhgaya.
The caves house a serene idol of the emaciated Buddha, symbolizing his extreme ascetic practices, and a nearby temple dedicated to Goddess Dungeshwari, representing divine protection. Pilgrims visit to reflect on the Buddha’s journey of perseverance, self-discovery, and the Middle Path.
Surrounded by natural beauty and spiritual quietude, Dungeshwari Hills offer a soul-stirring experience for both Buddhists and Hindus, making it a must-visit stop in the sacred trail of Bodhgaya.
