Why Sawan at Baidyanath Dham is unlike anywhere else

Baba Baidyanath Dham in Deoghar is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas — and the only one that is also a Shaktipeeth, where the heart of Sati is believed to rest. Through Shravan Maas, lakhs of Kanwariyas walk more than 100 km from Sultanganj carrying Ganga jal to pour over the Jyotirlinga. This month-long jalabhishek, the Shravani Mela, is among the largest religious gatherings in India.

Shastras hold that puja, jaap and abhishek performed in Sawan carry many times their usual phal. For devotees who cannot travel to Deoghar — because of distance, health or work — we perform your puja at the Dham in your name and gotra, with full Vedic sankalp, and send you the video of your puja along with prasad, anywhere in India or abroad.
