Jayadurga Temple at Baidyanath is the place where Sati’s Heart had fallen. Here Sati is worshipped as Jai Durga and Lord Bhairav as Vaidyanath or Baidyanath. The Shakthi Peeth is popularly known as Baidyanath Dham or Baba Dham. Since the heart of Sati fell here, the place is also called as Hardapeetha. Lord Bhairav as Vaidyanath is worshipped as one of the important twelve Jyotirlingas. Within the campus, Jayadurga Shaktipeeth is present exactly opposite to the main temple of Vaidyanath. Both the temples are connected by red colored silk threads in their tops.

That time, lord Shiva performed the cremation of her h...

It was wonderful to get the blessings of Baba Baidyanath. Evening aarati experience is amazing. We took train from Kolkata and reached Jasidih and was easy to get an auto to hotel which was close to the temple. Food is also good near temple. You are allowed to touch shivling and offer water before 4pm ish. (you shouldn't eat salt before doing that but no one would ask). Stayed there for 1.5 days. Spent next day exploring nearby places such as Basukinath temple, Trikut Parvat, Tapovan, Naulakha mandir. (takes 5-6 hours leisurely ) The temple management is pathetic. Pandas are goons (believe me I have seen pandas at other places too). Police are helpless and mentioned pandas don't fear anyone as they have full support of government/administration. I had visited Kashi Vishwanath and management their was superb. Administration should learn from other places. But it's clear that Jharkhand government doesn't even care about such significant place for Hindu. There are no signs on where the line starts, where to take off footwear. pandas will lie, misdirect you, be rude and everyone is after money. Tapovan is hidden gem. Pay 100 / 200rs to guide and he would take you to the Hanumanji temple on hills, path to it is very adventurous and it's only for fit people. be careful of monkeys. they can take stuff from your pocket. Ropeway is closed on Trikut Parvat, you can skip this places if you are short on time. Dibine experience. Impressive ambience and orderly arrangement. Good arrange...

It is popularly known as the Dashavatara temple after the relief panels depicting various incarnations of the Hindu deity Vishnu. As suggested by its architectural ruins, the temple is constructed in the panchayatana scheme of five shrines. The intricate sculptural work demonstrated in the frieze and walls of the shrines, which contain high-reliefs illustrating episodes from Vaishnava myths; the roof form ornamented with gavakshas; and the repeating pot-and-foliage motif make the temple an exemplary monument of Gupta art and architecture. The central shrine of the temple is topped with a pyramidal shikhara, that would have originally been about 40 feet tall. It sits atop a square plinth, or jagati, with stairs on each side, and the ruins of smaller shrines at each of its four corners. The plinth itself bore mouldings and frieze...
