Baba Garib Sthan Mandir, Hindu temple in Muzaffarpur district, India.
Baba Garib Sthan Mandir is a Hindu temple in Muzaffarpur district with traditional architectural design and a central sanctuary that houses a sacred Shiva lingam. The structure was built beneath ancient peepal trees that remain integral to the temple's character and spiritual significance.
The temple originated around 300 years ago when workers clearing land discovered a large lingam during efforts to remove seven peepal trees. This chance finding led to the establishment of the shrine at this location.
The temple draws crowds during Sawan when visitors come to pray and leave offerings in observance of their faith. This month holds special spiritual significance for people who visit the shrine.
The temple is most easily reached from Muzaffarpur Junction railway station using auto-rickshaws or e-rickshaws for transportation to the entrance. The site is walkable once you arrive, though summer months are extremely hot and require adequate preparation.
When workers were clearing the original peepal trees, a red substance emerged from the ground that led to the discovery of the sacred lingam. This striking phenomenon remains memorable to visitors learning about the temple's origins.
