The revered Baba Dhabaleswar Peeth in Athgarh is abuzz with devotees today, marking the third Monday of the holy Kartik month.
Lord Shiva is giving darshan to pilgrims in the special Badasinghar Besha. A massive crowd of devotees observing the Kartik fast flocked to the temple for a glimpse of Baba Dhabaleswar in this magnificent attire.
The temple gates opened at 4 PM for the day's rituals. After bathing the deity with 108 fragrant waters, the Mangala Alati, Mailam, and Bala Bhagwat rituals were performed.
It is a profound spiritual belief that sighting Lord Shiva on this specific day grants the merit of a million lifetimes and ensures peace of mind. The celebrations are expected to continue throughout the day.
