Angrabari or Amreshwar Dham located near Khunti, Jharkhand, is a Hindu temple complex dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva.[1] The temple is built and maintained by Amreshvar Dham Prabandh Samiti. It was renamed as Amreshwar Dham by the Sage Shankaracharya Swami Swarupananda Saraswati.[2] It is situated on the Khunti-Torpa road NH-20 approximately 45 km (28 mi) from Ranchi, the capital city of Jharkhand, and 9 km (5.6 mi) from the district headquarters.[3]

The temple site also houses several other Hindu deities including Ganesha, Rama, Sita and Hanuman. There is a large crowd of Shiva devotees here during the month of Sawan and on the day of Maha Shivaratri.[4]
