About Us

Deoghar, located in the Santhal Pargana region of Jharkhand, is one of the most sacred destinations for Hindu pilgrims in India. It is home to the renowned Baidyanath Dham Jyotirlinga Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, making it a deeply spiritual destination drawing millions of devotees every year.

The town is not only a major religious center but also offers a unique blend of mythology, nature, adventure, and cultural heritage. The name “Deoghar” literally means “Abode of Gods,” and the aura of divinity can be felt throughout this serene place.

What’s Famous in Deoghar?

Best Time to Visit

While Deoghar can be visited throughout the year, the best time is from October to March when the weather is pleasant for sightseeing and pilgrimage. However, the months of July and August are especially significant due to the Shravani Mela, when devotees from across the country walk for miles to offer holy water to Lord Shiva. This period is highly devotional but also very crowded. It is advised to avoid visiting in the extreme summer heat from April to June.
