Baba Baidyanath Dham
Baba Baidyanath Dham is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. It is located in Deoghar in the state of Jharkhand.
According to our holy scriptures the demon king Ravana worshipped Lord Shiva at this site. Ravana offered his 10 heads one after another to Shiva as a sacrifice. Pleased with this, Shiva descended to cure Ravana who was injured. Here he is referred to as Vaidya ("Doctor"). From this aspect of Shiva, the temple derives its name.
As per Shiv Mahapuran, once Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu had an argument in terms of supremacy of creation.To test them, Lord Shiva pierced the three worlds as a huge endless pillar of light, the Jyotirlinga. Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light. Brahma lied that he found out the end, while Vishnu conceded his defeat. Shiva appeared as the second pillar of light and cursed Brahma that he would have no place in ceremonies while Vishnu would be worshipped till the end of time.
