HISTORY OF KHATU SHYAM JI TEMPLE
The story of Khatu Shyam Temple comes from the age-old Hindu epic of Mahabharata. One of the Pandavas, Bhima’s great-grandson Veer Barbarik is considered a great devotee of Lord Krishna. He sacrificed his head as a symbol of his love for Shri Krishna. Impressed by this great sacrifice, God blessed Veer Barbarik. The boon was that he would be worshiped as Shyam in Kaliyuga. This great sacrifice of Barbarik earned him the name of “Giver of Sheesh”. Veer Barbarik, who is worshiped as Shyam in Shri Khatu Shyam, is also famous among his devotees as ‘Hare Ka Sahara’. Devotees of Lord Krishna believe that the Lord always fulfills the wishes of those with a pure heart.
It is believed that the temple was built by Raja Roop Singh Chauhan, the ruler of Khatu Shyam and his wife Narmada Kanwar. Roop Singh had a dream in which he was asked to build a temple by extracting a Shyam head from a pond in Khatu. The same kund later came to be known as ‘Shyama Kund’.
There is also a belief that about 1000 years ago on the day of Ekadashi Baba’s head was found in Shyamkund. Here there was a big Peepal tree near the well. Coming here, the milk of the cows used to flow automatically. The villagers were in awe of the cows giving milk. When the villagers dug that place, Baba Shyam’s head was found. The sheesh was handed over to Queen Narmada Kanwar of the Chauhan dynasty, later in Vikram Samvat 1084. This sheesh was installed in the temple on the day Devuthani Ekadashi. Will get rid of all diseases and infections.
