Khatushyam, Hindu temple in Khatu, Rajasthan, India

Khatushyam is a white marble shrine in Khatu, Rajasthan, India, dedicated to Barbareek, a warrior from the Mahabharata epic. The walls display fine stonework, while the structure carries arches, pillars, and domes in Rajasthani style.

Roop Singh Chauhan and his wife Narmada Kanwar built the first structure in 1027 after a farmer found the warrior's head in his field. In 1720, Abhay Singh, diwan of Thakur, had the temple renovated. A 1779 battle at Khatu Shyamji saw local chiefs defend the region against Mughal forces.

The site takes its name from Khatushyam, linking Shyam, another name for Krishna, to the warrior honored here. Pilgrims come to pray before the image and raise red flags they bring as a sign of devotion, hanging them throughout the temple grounds.

Buses run regularly from Shrimadhopur, Sikar, and Jaipur to the shrine, located roughly 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Jaipur Airport. Visitors should wear modest clothing and remove their shoes before entering the inner areas.

The white flag flown from the temple's spire each year comes from Surajgarh, a town on the Haryana–Rajasthan border, and bears a blue horse on white cloth. It has been raised for over 300 years and is carried there on a 152-km foot pilgrimage before being hoisted during the Falgun Mela.
