The short answer
Shashwat Dham is a modern Hindu pilgrimage complex at Devchuli in Nawalpur district, opened in the 2010s. It centres on the Ekambareshwor temple and covers about 12 acres. It is a destination for Shaivite devotees and sits on the highway between the Pokhara and Chitwan areas.
Check opening arrangements and any event days before travelling. Because it lies near the Narayani river and the Terai highway, it can be combined with Devghat, Chitwan and Lumbini in a pilgrimage circuit.
