Maula Kalika, Lumbini Overview

Maula Kalika is a Hindu temple to the goddess Kali, set on Maula Hill above Gaindakot on the bank of the Narayani river. The climb up the stone steps through thick greenery opens onto wide views over the river and the plains beyond. It lies about 130 kilometres east of Lumbini, so it works best as a stop on the way to or from Chitwan rather than as a day trip.

Devotees visit Maula Kalika to seek blessings, protection, and the fulfillment of their wishes. The temple holds particular importance during the festivals of Dashain and Navaratri. Maula Kalika Temple features traditional Nepalese temple architecture. The inner sanctum houses the idol of the goddess Kali, adorned with flowers, offerings, and traditional decorations. Symbols of the goddess's power and presence are prominently displayed around the temple. Adding to the spiritual ambiance, prayer flags flutter in the breeze, and bells ring with the touch of devotees. One of the main attractions of Maula Kalika Temple is its location.  From the temple, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Terai plains, the Trishuli River, and the distant Himalayan peaks
