This study explores the mythological, cultural, historical, geographical, and archaeological significance of Goddess Śaileśwarī and Her temple in Silgadhī, the headquarters of Dotī district, from the perspectives of folklorism and Hindu scriptures. This study is primarily based on the mythological stories of The Śaileśwarī Māhātmya (“The Glory of Śaileśwarī”), and secondarily on field observation, and interviews. The myths or mythological stories, rituals, and festivals are related to folklore. 
 This study concludes that the temple is an archetypal embodiment of creation, energy, and equality and that as Śiva and Pārvatī are equal so also are men and women equal spiritually. Hence, its preservation is crucial for national identity and tourism growth in Nepal. 
The temple serves as a bridge between Nepal and India, as Lord Ram of Ayodhyā from India visited the temple of Goddess Śaileśwarī with His spiritual teacher Vaśiṣtha, sages, his brother Lakṣmaṇa, and Hanumāna, the god of monkeys, during the Tretā Yuga. Before Lord Ram, His fifth ancestor King Dilīip had visited Dilīpeśwar Mahādeva at Dipāyal, which is mythologically linked to the temple.
 The temple's story begins with Pārvatī', the daughter of the Himalayas, marrying Lord Śiva. After their marriage, they lived in Candana Parvata, where Brahmā (the Creator) found them and prayed to Her. They were later known as Ardhanārīśwara, an image of half Goddess and half God. Today, Siddhas, sages, deities, and saints secretly worship both Śiva and Pārvatī over their single stone image.
          The temple's popularity can be attributed to its mythological, cultural, historical, geographical, and archaeological significance and its daily worship and annual carnivals.
       Publicizing the multiple significance of the temple including its mythological and spiritual ones through mass media could attract thousands of national and international devotees, pilgrims, and tourists, helping to develop the tourism industry in Nepal and strengthen the Indo-Nepal relationship.
