Damaru Ghati is a Shiva temple in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is built in a valley shaped like a Damaru. It is located near the Gadarwara city. A shivalinga is established inside a temple shaped like a shivalinga. Statues of Lord Shiva, Nandi and Lord Hanuman are also present in the temple. Every year, thousands of tourists and devotees visit the temple to worship Lord Shiva during Mahashivaratri.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The construction of the temple began 2 decades ago. The shape of the sand dunes on the banks of Shakkar River in Gadarwara was similar to a Damaru. People started calling it 'Damaru Ghati'. The construction of the temple was started by SDOP BS Parihar, who was posted in Gadarwara, in collaboration with the local citizens.[7]
