A Global Spiritual Hub: From Local Farmers to Russian Devotees

Bateshwar Nath Dham’s fame extends beyond Bihar, reaching international pilgrims. The temple museum even preserves foreign currency donated by a Russian devotee who was moved by the temple’s sanctity years ago. While local farmers from Samastipur and Patna offer quintals of eggplants during Mahashivratri, international visitors are drawn to the mystery of the Lingam growing inside a Banyan tree. This unique blend of local agricultural tradition and global faith makes it a fascinating cultural site.
