Mahabudham: A Sacred Confluence of Faith, Peace, and Natural Beauty

Dailke. Mahabudham, situated at an altitude of four thousand sixteen meters above sea level, is not just a geographical lake, but a unique confluence of deep faith, intimate peace, and natural beauty for thousands of devotees. This holy shrine, located on the border of Mahabu Rural Municipality-6 of Dailekh and Mahavai Rural Municipality-4 of Kalikot, hosts a grand religious fair every year around Janai Purnima.

Every year during Janai Purnima, the entire lake area becomes festive with the throng of domestic and international pilgrims climbing to Mahabu Lake, carrying holy trishuls in their hands, chanting 'Har Har Mahadev' loudly, and forgetting the arduous journey of the mountain climb. The presence of thousands of devotees coming from Dailekh, Surkhet, Kalikot, Jumla, Jajarkot, Nepalgunj, and even from neighboring India has established Mahabudham as a vibrant and prominent spiritual tourist destination.
