Ajgaibinath Dham (also known as Ajgaivinath Dham) is an ancient Hindu temple located in Sultanganj, Bhagalpur district, Bihar, India. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple holds immense religious and historical significance. It is uniquely situated on a rock island in the Ganges River and serves as a major pilgrimage destination, especially during the Shravani Mela, when devotees collect holy water from the Ganges and carry it to Baidyanath Temple in Deoghar. The temple's name is derived from "Aj" (meaning invincible) and "Gaivinath" (a title of Shiva), and it is believed to be self-manifested.
