hill and temple / Bihar

Girihinda Hill

Girihinda Hill rises beside Sheikhpura town, near Budhauli Chowk. A Shiva temple stands on the hill. The district’s tourism account links the hill with Hidimba and Bhima in Mahabharata tradition. That story belongs to the place’s remembered landscape; it does not date the hilltop shrine.

Before you go

The epic association is attributed tradition. The neighbouring Samas entry has conflicting period attributions, so it has not been used to date this separate place.

Coordinates and visitor entrances have not been established; no map pin or live access claim is inferred.
