Deoghar

Baidyanath Dham is one of the 12 sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, making it among the holiest Hindu destinations in India. According to legend, Ravana worshipped Shiva here, and the deity granted him divine powers. Every year during Shravan Mela, millions of devotees walk barefoot from Sultanganj to offer holy Ganga water. Even beyond religion, the spiritual energy, rhythmic chants, and ancient temple architecture leave a deep impression on visitors.
