Pathibhara Temple, a temple of the goddess Pathibhara, is situated in the eastern part of Nepal. The temple lies in the Taplejung district at an elevation of 3750 meters. Both Hindus and Buddhists worship the animist deity at Pathibhara with equal reverence.
The Goddess at Pathibhara is believed to fulfill the long-cherished dreams of her devotees, like sons for those without sons and wealth for the poor. Pathibhara Devi is considered one of the ‘Shakti Peeths’. Worshippers from different parts of Nepal and India flock to the temple during special occasions, as it is believed that a pilgrimage to the temple ensures fulfillment of all that the pilgrim desires. The devotees of Pathibhara also include members of the royal family from Nepal. The pilgrims sacrifice animals and bring gold and silver as offerings to Pathibhara Devi.
