Dhuleshwor (Nepali: धुलेश्वर) is a religious site in Dailekh District in Karnali Pradesh, Nepal. It is one of the five places under the Panchkoshi, the five holy places of Dailekh. This site is located at Badalamji village of Dullu Municipality. Here, the temple is organized for auto-generation of dust from underground. Scientists have examined it as a minor epicenter of a volcano, though religious faiths believe on divine power.[1] Dhuleshwor temple is known as the prime of Panchkoshi, among Padukasthan, Shirsthan, Nabhisthan, and Kotilasthan.[2] According to Ancient holy flame myth and Vaishvanara myth, Kotilasthan does not come under Panchkoshi but comes. Kotilasthan being a Shakti Peeth since a long time ago it has been listed under this. As per Panchkoshi, a pilgrimage must begin from Padukasthan, Shirsthan, Nabhisthan and finally end up living a night at Dhuleshwor. Vaishvanara myth indicated on its snow fairy episode this places as more saintly then Flame Mountain Badrinath and Kedarnath.[3]
Backgrounds
The Dhuleshwor Temple surroundings include the Flame House, the Bhairab Temple, the Masta Temple, the Gaadi House, and the Shiva Temple. The Flame House includes 2 stone inscriptions written in Nepali; unfortunately, the writings are no longer visibly clear.
On one, written about the then King King Rajendra Bikram Shah established the temple in 1748 BC and Colonel Kulman Singh Basnet built the temple roof in 1778 BC. Most of the structures have been destroyed and many idols were lost during the Nepalese Civil War. On 26th Chaitra 2067, at night someone looted the statues of Narpateshwor Mahadev and other statues from the Flame House. Similarly, at the Flame House, during the holy worship wind with dust (dhulo) comes from under the ground, thus it's called "Dhuleshwor", meaning Lord Shiva's incarnation as of dust. There is a Shivling at the center of this temple. On one side of Shivling, there is Shiva's Ox (Nandishwor) and lion on the next side. Along with that Kal Bhairav, Baal Bhairav and Batuk Bharav statues can be found at the premises.[4] By giving the sacrifice of animals Kaal Bhairav is worship while rest two are worship by making the shower of milk over it. Likewise, a Masta god statue is worshiped with milk at the premises. Mostly, these are worshiped during Chaite Dashain and Bada Dashain. On normal days, daily worship is done by a bachelor-saint.[5]
Other places
There is a tradition to bath at Banganga and Brahamkund, located the bottom of the Dhuleshwor. On Baleshwor Temple, believed to perform funerals. Along with Dhuleshwor, need to worship Dulange Hill or Naag Snake. Badalamji located here is even worshiped as religious and historical values.
Mythology
On the Mythological period, Lord Shiva's wife Sati has suicide by jumping on the holy flame after her father insulted her husband. After her death, Shiva started to walk around by taking wife's dead body and behaved like a mad. Seeing this and Kailash Parvat empty, as other gods were not able to run the creation smoothly, Lord Bishnu created bacteria that could decay her body. On this order, wherever Sati's decayed body parts fell on the earth are made Shakti Peethas. At Dhuleshwor, Sati's body converted to dust, thus this place is called as Dhuleshwor, meaning an incarnation of Shiva as dust. This place was unknown unless the Shivaling came in sight of a saint Nadiban. He started to worship alone, hidden. Soldiers from Kathmandu came to arrest him because people complained about him. When the soldiers were taking him to Kathmandu, he returned saying he will come soon later but he reached the palace before the soldiers. The then king of Kathmandu examined him and realized some power on his mediation declared a site to worship. After then, Nadiban's offspring have been saints and priests of this temple. Even after death, they are graved on the temple premises.[5]
Route
This place can be reached by Karnali Highway to Dailekh till Dullu Municipality on vehicles. Can be reached to the gate using by another sub route by Dadumadi route vehicles. Even could be reached by foot within an hour. Ongoing by foot, Khas King Naagraj's winter capital or the capital of the then powerful 22 principalities (Baise rajya) and 24 principalities (Chaubisi rajya) could be seen. On the way, Nepal's first petrograph Kriti khamba, remaining of Dullu palace, heritages, Bal Narsingh Kunwar's throne at Baleshwor Temple, and other religious and historical sites can be observed.
