'''Karneshwar Dham''', also known as '''Karneshwar Shiv Mandir''', is one of the ancient temples in [[Karon, Deoghar|Karon]], the most sacred abodes of [[Shiva]]. It is located in Karon in the [[Deoghar district]] of the [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]], [[India]]. It is a temple complex consisting of the main temple of Baba Karneshwar, where the Shivalinga is installed, and 27 other temples.<br />
<br />
According to [[Hindu]] beliefs, Raja Karna who was the then ruler of Karon, was a [[wikt:devotee|devotee]] of Shiva and thus he installed a [[Shivalinga]] at the current site of the temple to worship Shiva, his lord. As it is believed that the temple is built by King Karna, so from this aspect the temple derives its name.<ref>G.Deuskar, Sakharam (1987), Sakharam Ganesh Deuskar lectures on Indian history (First ed.), New Delhi: Published for Centre for Studies in Social Sciences by K.P.
