Kalyaneshwar Mahadev Mandir (Maithili: कल्याणेश्वर महादेव मंदिर) was established by King Janaka in Mithila. The temple is also the part of Mithila Madhya Parikrama circuit. The temple is situated at Kalna village of Harlakhi block in Madhubani district. It is said that King Janaka established Shivlings in all the four directions from Janakpur. The Shivling of this temple is one of them. Since the temple is very ancient and historical, so it is very famous in the region.
During the month of Sawan, millions of pilgrims come to the temple, carrying holy water from the Kamala River in Jaynagar. Every Monday during the month of Sawan, a huge crowd of devotees flock to the Shivalaya for performing sacred Jalabhisheka on the Kalyaneshwar Shivalinga.
