Durga Temple, Thawe

A historic temple dedicated to Goddess Durga, widely known as "Thawe Mata Mandir," is located on the Patna-Gopalganj route and is also one of India's shakti-peeths.

According to folklore, Goddess Durga is claimed to have arrived here at the request of her great devotee "Shree Rahshu Bhagat Ji" from Kamrup, Assam, where she is known as "Maa Kamakhya." This temple is also famous for a peculiar tree, the botanical family of which has not yet been identified. Various legends are prevalent in connection with the idol and the tree.

A special fair is organized twice in the year, in the month of “Chaitra” (March) and “Ashvin” (October) on the auspicious occasion of “Navratra” when devotees gather and offer prayers in large numbers.
