Overview

Baba Baidyanath Dham, located in Deoghar, Jharkhand, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India, making it one of the most revered pilgrimage sites for devotees of Lord Shiva. The temple complex is believed to be where Lord Shiva manifested as a Jyotirlinga, making it a significant destination for spiritual seekers. The Baidyanath Jyotirlinga is also associated with the Shakti Peethas, where Sati’s heart is said to have fallen, adding to its spiritual significance.

The yatra, or pilgrimage, attracts millions of devotees, particularly during the holy month of Shravan (July-August), when the famous Shravan Mela takes place. Pilgrims, known as Kanwariyas, undertake a rigorous journey on foot, carrying water from the holy Ganges in Sultanganj to offer to the Shiva Lingam at Baidyanath Dham. The temple complex is also home to various other shrines dedicated to different deities, making it a holistic spiritual experience. The yatra is not only a journey of faith but also an opportunity to witness the vibrant culture and traditions of the region.
