The '''Khidkali temple''' or the '''Khidkaleshwar Mandir''' is a [[Hindu temple]] located in [[Dombivli]], [[Maharashtra]], India.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://oliverella-ltd.com/ |title=Naik orders district authorities to protect Khidkali temple |access-date=2020-02-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130915062230/http://www.oliverella-ltd.com/ |archive-date=2013-09-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />

The present temple structure was probably rebuilt in the 17th century. Inside the main temple there are other ancient idols of [[Ganesha|Lord Ganeśa]], [[Hanumān]]. The temple is situated on the banks of the Khiḍkali Lake. There are several small temples near-by: [[Dattatreya|Dattātreya]], Hanumān and other [[Gurus|Gurūs]]. There is a small park inside the temple campus for children's recreation.<br />
<br />
According to the legend, once when [[Pandava|Pānḍavās]] visited this place during Araṇyavasām, [[Yudhishthira|Yudhiṣhṭhira]] wanted to perform [[Shiva Puja|Śiva pūja]]. So the Pānḍavās built this temple for Yudhiṣhṭhir‘s pūja.<br />
