Only one inscription mentions the temple of Dushara. The wadi just north of the temple has an altar with a head of Zeus and a dedication to the "Holy God … Dusari[os]." There was also a "theatron" dedicated to Dushara, which are bench-like installations in the courtyard of a temple, perhaps the one behind the Temple of the Winged Lions or the temenos of Dushara's temple. Dushara protected the tombs at Hegra and some inscriptions mention other deities after Him: "And may Dushara and Manotu and Her Qaysha curse anyone who sells this tomb or buys it or gives it in pledge." Other inscriptions mention Allat and Hubal. The place most associated with Dushara, however, is Gaia/Al-Ji. Another deity, Al-Kutba, is also associated with Gaia. A Greek inscription from the Hauran states "To the God of Gaia and his angel Idaruma" but its unclear if this is meant to refer to Dushara or Al-Kutba. Beginning in the 3rd century Bostra held Greco-Roman style games every 4 years called the Actia Dusaria celebrating the Battle of Actium and Dushara. Other major sites throughout the kingdom include Adraa, Hurawa (Khirbet et-Tannur), Khirbet edh-Dharih, Iram (Wadi Ramm), and Hegra. The Adraans were known for their pilgrimages to Petra where they would give offerings to Dushara. Hurawa is one of the most important sites since it existed solely as a temple complex without a neighboring village. This probably means it was a place of pilgrimage. The temple is linked to Qos and Atargatis who were assimilated with Dushara and Allat respectively.
