Cultural & Spiritual Heritage of Cox's Bazar

Cox’s Bazar, famous for its unbroken ocean coastline, holds deep spiritual heritage on Maheshkhali Island. The historic Adinath Temple, situated atop Mainak Hill, is dedicated to Lord Shiva as a self-manifested (Swayambhu) sanctuary. Every year during Phalguna, the island welcomes thousands of sea-faring pilgrims for the historic Adinath Fair.
