Matatirtha Temple (Nepali: मातातीर्थ मन्दिर) is a Hindu temple in Matatirtha, Chandragiri Municipality, Nepal.[1]
The temple is famous for the Matatirtha Aunsi festival, a day to honour mothers and motherhood.[2][3] According to the legends, during ancient Nepal a farmer visited the pond in the premises of the temple to quench his thirst whilst drinking it, he saw his late mother's face reflected in the pond.[4]
