Bhavnath Temple is a Hindu shrine located on the banks of the Hathmati river dam in the Bhiloda region and features traditional architecture with multiple worship areas. The grounds include different sections dedicated to Lord Shiva and the sage Avan Rishi.
The complex dates back roughly 1300 years, with ancient inscriptions discovered at the site providing evidence of its age. These archaeological remains show the long continuity of worship at this sacred place.
The temple draws worshippers during major festivals like Mahashivratri, when the grounds fill with people participating in prayers and rituals together. These gatherings form the rhythm of life for the local community and bring people together in shared devotion.
The shrine is located in a quiet area and is best reached on foot or by local transport, with Bhiloda town nearby as the closest reference point. The grounds are fairly flat, making it easy for visitors to explore the different sections.
Within the grounds sits Bhrigukund, a water reservoir that local people have long visited because they believe it offers help for certain skin concerns. Visitors wade in the water and report feeling relief from various skin conditions.
