Dhakeshwari National Temple (Bengali: ঢাকেশ্বরী রাষ্ট্রীয় মন্দির, romanized: Ðhakeshshori Rashtriyo Mondir) is a Hindu temple in Old Dhaka (inhabited since 7th century, 600 A.D.), Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is state-owned, giving it the distinction of being Bangladesh's 'National Temple'. The name "Dhakeshwari" (ঢাকেশ্বরী Ðhakeshshori) means "Goddess of Dhaka". Bangladesh is the only country (only Muslim majority country) in the World to have a National Hindu Temple.
Since the destruction of Ramna Kali Mandir in 1971 by the Pakistan Army during the Bangladesh Liberation War, the Dhakeshwari Temple has assumed status as the most important Hindu place of worship in Bangladesh.[1] It is also the largest Hindu temple in Bangladesh.[2] It is one of the Shakti Pithas, the goddess-centric shrines of the Indian Subcontinent.
