Significance of the Baba Baidyanath Jyotirlinga Shiva Temple: This temple is a Shaivite temple, which means it is dedicated to Lord Shiva. In fact, the temple is one among the twelve Jyotirlingas, and it is believed that Shiva resides here. Located in Deoghar in the state of Jharkhand, this temple sees innumerable devotees visiting it each year. As the name of the temple includes the term 'Baidyanath' (from the word 'vaidya', which means doctor), it is understood that this temple is connected to healing and cures. The legend goes that Lord Shiva appeared before Ravana here, to heal him after he had sacrificed all his ten heads to please the deity. Similarly, the deity aids in the healing of those devotees who perform poojas for good health here. Benefits of the puja: It is understandable that such miraculous effects of a pooja may seem surprising to some people. However, each and every day, many people assemble at the temple who have known for themselves the wonderful effects of a pooja for relief from bad health. These people come from places far and wide and thank the deity for his mercy and benevolence in making them perfectly healthy again. Be it a fever that would happen again and again, problems such as leprosy or leucoderma, general weakness leading to immunity problems etc., all of these are cured through faith in the deity. Believers know that trusting in god can make all the difference, and this is what happens at such a pooja, too. After the completion of the pooja, thousands of people have known their diseases to slowly leave their bodies altogether.
