Chaturbhuj Sthan Temple

This is another one of the most sacred temples of Muzaffarpur. But more importantly it is probably the oldest temple amongst all the sacred temples of the region and Bihar state. This temple is as old as 600 years old, with its history dating back to medieval era of 12th century. And any reference to history of this temple would be incomplete without mentioning about local saint, with whose effort and perseverance such a grand temple came into being. It is widely believed that somewhere during 12th century an unknown local saint, who was devotee of Lord Shiva, got hold of a huge idol of Chaturbhuj in a small village, far off from Muzaffarpur. Under very extraordinary circumstances, he brought the idol to Muzaffarpur and placed it in a place besides idol of Lord Shiva. This is the same place where today the grand temple stands, which today has became one of the iconic religious places of Muzaffarpur district.
