There is daily traffic of devotees in the month of Savan, but on Monday there is a lot of crowd. All the four doors of the sanctum are filled with devotees and due to shortening the door, there is a need to find lines for hours. After fulfilling the blessings here, people also offer Kadahi to Baba and wish for happiness and prosperity throughout the year.There is no one to give detailed information about the establishment of this ancient Shiva temple, but the people around them believe that it puts a lot of light on its history.

It is said that hundreds of years ago there used to be an old saint named Bhannathnath and used to feed his cow here. In his time, a Shiva Ling was established here. On one side, his cow was grazing on one side and on the other side he used to meditate on Shiva sitting there. It is said that in the name of Baba who grazed the same cow, this place was named Bhananthnath. It is said about the establishment of the temple that the foundation of the temple was laid on October 4, 1951, which was completed after seven years on 13 December 1958.Now all the facilities are available for the devotees here. Overall, the glory of Baba is not limited to the city itself, but the people of the entire district are coming to take Baba’s blessings.
