Traversing the path of devotion

Discover the divine spirit of Mangal Dham, a revered Hindu shrine located in Kalimpong in West Bengal. As one of the state's major religious centres, this sprawling temple pays a moving homage to Guruji Shri Mangaldasji Maharaj while leaving an indelible mark in devotees' hearts and welcoming tourists looking for spirituality and cultural wonders alike. With its rich history and breath-taking grandeur, Mangal Dham welcomes seekers of spirituality and cultural splendor alike.

Mangal Dham stands as one of India's most spectacular temples, stretching over an expansive two-acre space and constructed under the vision of Guruji Shri Mangaldasji Maharaj in 1940. With its prayer hall filled with images depicting Raj Shyamji, Prannathji, and Guru Mangaldasji himself adorning its walls, visitors are immersed in inspiring tales of devotion and divinity.

A monument of magnificence

The structure serves as a memorial to revered Guruji Shri Mangaldasji Maharaj and features an uppermost level sanctuary depicting accounts from Nijanandacharya Shri Devchandraji's encounter with Lord Krishna and Revered Prannathji's blessing of Bundela Chhatrasal Maharaj; among many other events from Krishna Leela.

Mangal Dham's heart lies within its three core values of cognition, allegiance, and benefaction - as represented by stunning artworks and miniature models that grace its temple walls. These fascinating depictions narrate episodes from Lord Krishna's life while transporting visitors on an intoxicating spiritual journey into Krishna Leela.

Tales that echo through time

Mangal Dham was built upon determination and devotion. When Guruji Shri Mangaldasji Maharaj attempted to establish a temple dedicated exclusively to Lord Krishna, local authorities initially denied his request for land. Undaunted, Guruji and his faithful followers persevered despite these hurdles - using only indigenous resources and traditional architectural techniques, they built this grand structure as a sign of unwavering faith - also founding an educational institute and orphanage facility to offer instruction and assistance to their surrounding population.
