Ashok Dham is a prominent Hindu religious site located in the Lakhisarai district of Bihar, near Suryagarha. The temple complex is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is considered one of the important Shiva temples in the region. Ashok Dham gained wider recognition after a naturally formed Shiva lingam was discovered here, which devotees believe to be self-manifested. The temple attracts a large number of pilgrims, especially during the holy month of Shravan and on Mahashivratri. Devotees visit the dham to offer water, milk, and prayers seeking blessings and fulfillment of wishes. The temple complex has been developed with proper facilities for pilgrims. Religious fairs and gatherings are held during major festivals. Ashok Dham continues to be a major center of Shiva worship and faith in Bihar.
