Marriage is the union not only of two people but of families. When two people decide to come together and spend the rest of their lives together, many factors other than love are taken into account. It is also important for couples to receive the blessings of the gods and goddesses. In Hindu culture, it is believed that the couple must visit temples and religious places in order to seek blessings from the deities. According to reports, there is a temple in Jharkhand where if the couple bows their heads before the deity, their relationship endures and remains full of love.
Baba Khonhar Nath is located in the Gijna region of Jharkhand. It is considered a jyotirlinga and the third most important place after Amarnath and Mansarovar. There is a belief that those who bow their heads before the Shivalinga get their wishes fulfilled. The temple has also become a tourist destination.
The Baba Khonhar Nath temple is said to be centuries old. Santosh Baba, the priest of this temple, said that his ancestors have been worshiping here for 500 years. He added that Lord Shiva is present here in the form of Shivalinga, along with Goddess Ganga. It is believed that if one wants to make married life happy, by paying obeisance at this temple, the relationship is connected for life.
The temple priest revealed that Lord Bholenath is present here with Goddess Ganga and has rocks around him. The temple is beautifully built and is highly respected by the locals. It can be seen that people from all over the country visit the auspicious temple.
Recently, it was also reported that a 15 feet tall statue of Lord Parshuram would also be installed in this temple. As more tourists flock to these temples, the state government has decided to develop facilities like air conditioning, rooms, better roads, trees, gardens and arches near the temple.
