Baijnath

BAIJNATH

A small town in Himachal Pradesh, this town is mostly famous for the sacred temple of Baijnath. Dedicated to Shiva Vaidyanath, it is synonymous with mystic invincibility and attracts people from all corners of the globe. Legend has it that Lord Shiva was very pleased with Ravana's devotion after he sacrificed his 10 heads in this spot, he not only gave him the boon but also put back all his ten heads. Lord Shiva transformed here as a 'Vaidhya' (doctor) and healed the injuries of Ravana. Hence, he is worshipped in the form of Vaidyanath at this temple.
