Katasraj Mandir is a complex of Hindu mandirs situated in Katas village in the Chakwal district of Punjab,Pakistan. Dedicated to Shiva, the temple is believed to be existed since the days of Mahābhārata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial part of their exile at the site. The Pakistan Government is considering nominating the temple complex for World Heritage Site status. It also proposes to spend about Rs 20 million in three phases for the restoration of the complex.
