I · The Dham

“Bihar ka Deoghar”

बाबा गरीबनाथ धाम, मुज़फ़्फ़रपुर

Baba Garibnath Dham stands near Purani Bazar in Muzaffarpur — the Shiva temple devotees call “Bihar ka Deoghar”. Here Mahadev is worshipped as Garibnath, Lord of the poor, and the Shivling as a Manokamna Linga that fulfils the wish brought before it. Mantraya was begun by pujaris of this Dham.

By tradition the Dham is about three hundred years old. Where it now stands was dense forest, and in that forest stood seven peepal trees. It was while these were being felled that a great Shivling came to light, and the owner of the land is said to have been directed in a dream to begin worship on the spot.

  • Manokamna Lingarevered for granting the wish brought before it
  • 70 km KanwarGanga jal carried from Pahleja Ghat, Sonepur, since about 1960
  • Kalpavrikshathe wish-granting tree in the courtyard, older than the linga
