Sidhua Asthan, Kushinagar

Located at a place called Siddhanath, approximately 4 km from Padrauna-Tamkuhi road, the temple of Sidhua Asthan is considered the place of saints who attained perfection or siddhi in their religious or spiritual pursuits. Sidhua Asthan probably owes its name because it was the seat of saint Siddhnath ji to whom the temple is dedicated.

The Asthan also houses the temples of Hanuman, Goddess Durga, a Dhuni and a yagyashala—a place for conducting hawans—prayers over sacred fire. It becomes a venue for single day festivals on the 13th day of the month of Falgun and 2nd day of Deepawali and draws huge crowds of devotees. It remains open to the devotees from 4 AM to 9 PM daily.
