BAIDHYANATH DHAM

This is a famous place for the Hindu pilgrims. It is also known as Deoghar, which means the house of Gods and Goddesses. Though the town is full of temples, but the Shiva-Baidyanath temple is perhaps the most famous among them. Here the Kamna Lingam of Lord Shiva has been placed since the realms of anitiquity. However, historically the temple dates back to 1596 AD, when a hunter discovered this lingam. Many devotees visit here in the month of Shravan, specially on Mondays. Baidyanath Dham can be reached either by road or by train. Many devotees come to Baidyanath Dham on foot, by traversing a distance of 100 kms, for pouring the holy water of river Ganga on the Kamna Lingam of Lord Shiva.
Jharkhand is also well known for its fantastic carvings on the wood and bamboo handicrafts. You can get unique paintings, musical instruments, wooden artifacts, ornamental designed jewelry, etc in the markets of Jharkhand. They can serve as mementos for your fascinating trip to Jharkhand
