Festival Calendar

Plan around the big dates — and book early for the busy ones.

Very busy

Shravani Mela

July - August (Shravan month)

The largest event of the year at Baba Baidyanath Dham. Through the month of Shravan, lakhs of kanwariyas walk roughly 105 km from Sultanganj carrying Ganga water to offer at the temple. The whole town reorganises around the pilgrimage, with dedicated routes, camps and extended darshan hours.

Very busy

Mahashivratri

February - March

One of the most important nights in the Shaiva calendar, marked with night-long worship, special abhishek and large crowds at the Baidyanath temple. A wedding procession of Shiva is traditionally taken out in Deoghar.

💡Expect long darshan queues through the night. Book at least a few weeks ahead.

Basant Panchami

January - February

Marks the beginning of spring and, at Baidyanath Dham, the traditional start of preparations leading towards Shivratri. Quieter than the major melas but a good time to visit for those wanting darshan without peak crowds.

💡A comfortable time to visit - moderate crowds and pleasant weather.

Very busy

Nag Panchami

July - August (during Shravan)

Falls within the Shravan period and adds to the crowds already present for Shravani Mela. Serpent worship is observed at temples across the region.

💡Falls inside the Shravani Mela window - plan as you would for peak season.

Very busy

Ajgaibinath Mela

July - August (Shravan month)

Sultanganj is where the kanwar journey begins. Pilgrims collect Ganga water at the Ajgaibinath temple ghat before setting out on foot for Deoghar, and the town fills through Shravan.

💡Most pilgrims stay here the night before starting the walk - book early for Shravan.
