Siddeshwar Dham is a replica to the Hindus char dhams; Jagannath, Badrinath, Dwarka and Rameswaram and 12 Jyotirlingas. The Dham is splendidly built and is well maintained.The first unnoticeable thing about Siddeshwar Dham is the "Gigantic Lord Shiva" statue. #hinduschardham#namchi#sikkim#trover#travelbazzinga
