Dungeshwari Mandir

Dungeshwari Mandir

Dungeshwari Hills, located at a distance of 15 km from Bodh Gaya, is one of the prime attractions of Gaya district. This hill houses a cave which is surrounded with several shrines and ancient stupas. It is believed that this is the same cave, which protected Lord Buddha for six years, before he travelled to Bodh Gaya for attaining enlightenment. However, his stay in this cave proved futile as he was disillusioned and travelled to several other places in search of true knowledge. Located along River Falgu, these hills have found mention in the travelogues of Fa Hien and Hiuen Tsang.

The caves here have Hindu and Buddhist shrines and some people are attracted to this place because of the sheer energy they believe the place generates, because of its association with Lord Buddha. Getting to the Dungeshwari cave temples is relatively easier from Gaya rather than travelling up from Bodh gaya, since the latter is usually overcrowded with locals and travellers. Since there’s not much distance to be covered, one can take a rickshaw directly to the caves.
