Picture the scene: a congregation of wooden staff-carrying pilgrims clothed in orange – the ‘kanwariyas’, rhythmically chanting the name of Lord Shiva as they traverse the holy path leading to the Baidyanath Jyotirlinga. This is the usual sight at the Deoghar Shravan Mela. An event practically etched in the spiritual ethos of every Shiva disciple. In this blog, we bring to the disciples from Hyderabad, Raipur, and Andhra Pradesh some indispensable insights about this celestial event, and more importantly, how they can be a part of it.
The Deoghar Shravan Mela – An Ethereal Pilgrimage
This mesmerizing annual spectacle is named after the sacred month of Shravan. The Deoghar Shravan Mela takes place at the Baidyanath Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 powerful jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva. Conflict and despair are but foreign concepts on this holy ground, as people from various walks of life blend together in harmony under the blessings of Lord Shiva.
The Baidyanath Jyotirlinga
The Baidyanath Jyotirlinga is located in Deoghar, a city in the eastern Indian state of Bihar. The temple complex, spanning a staggering 72 acres, houses the main deity – Shiva, in the form of a linga. The linga itself is said to exhibit powerful energy and devotees claim to feel it during their darshan, particularly vibrant during the Shravan Mela.
The Journey: Hyderabad to Deoghar
For pilgrims planning to embark on a Hyderabad to Deoghar pilgrimage, there are multiple travel options. Based on your preference, you can either take a flight, train, bus or even drive. Here at Madhu Tourism, we offer flexible and affordable packages that ensure your journey from Hyderabad to Deoghar (and other similar journeys) is the most comfortable and memorable.
The Shravan Kanwariya Yatra
The Shravan Kanwariya Yatra is one of the key parts of the Deoghar Shravan Mela. Kanwariyas are Shiva devotees who carry holy Ganga water in their Kanwars (a strong, bamboo cantilever), with the intended goal to offer the water to their beloved deity at the Baidyanath Jyotirlinga. If you’re keen to participate, remember that the yatra is a tough one, but the spiritual cleansing and blessings of Lord Shiva make it truly worthwhile.
