Devghat Dham
देवघाट धाम
A Hindu pilgrimage site where the Trishuli and Kaligandaki rivers meet to form the Narayani. Temples and quiet riverbank retreats for ascetics line the shore.
Located about 6 km north of Narayangarh, this is where two large rivers join to form the Narayani. The site is regarded as sacred by Hindus, and numerous temples and monasteries line the riverbanks. Many elderly people come here to spend their final years. Every year in mid-January, during the Makar Sankranti festival, hundreds of thousands of devotees come to bathe in the river. Visitors can cross the suspension bridge to the Danubhon area on the opposite bank. Admission is free. Remove your shoes before entering the temples, and do not photograph ascetics or cremation scenes without permission. It is about an hour by bus from Sauraha.
