About Deoghar (Baba Baidyanath)

Deoghar (literally "Abode of the Gods") in Jharkhand is centered around the ancient Baba Baidyanath Temple, one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas in Hinduism and a revered Shaktipeeth. The complex of 22 stone temples is topped by red pennants and a sacred Panchsula (five-pronged trident) that draws devotees from across the country.
