Pernami Mandir

The Terai & Mahabharat Range


As you approach Itahari centre from the highway you will see this large temple on the right riverbank just after you cross the signed Budhi Bridge. Most remarkable is a wild, colourful and very large statue of Shiva and several lesser gods struggling with a five-headed snake, a symbol of the struggle between good and evil.
