Kalyan Das Temple (Kalyan Das Mandir) is a 19th-century Hindu temple in Kohati Bazaar, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. It was built by the Suri family and is named after Kalyan Das Suri. The complex is notable for its tall shikhara-like domes and painted panels. Since the mid-20th century the temple compound has been occupied by a government school for visually impaired children; the temple building itself is reported to be in a state of neglect. Historically the temple has been the starting point of Amarnath for the Hindu community. The pilgrims would walk barefoot from the temple to the Amaranth Caves through Murree hills.
