How to reach is really simple. Your best bet is you take a flight till Patna, and then take a train towards Jasidih. Jasidih is just 7 K.M. away from Deoghar, where Babadham is actually located. From Jasidih to Deoghar, you can get a car ride i.e. Taxis or you can take one of those auto-rikshaw thingies. They are all safe enough, so no need to worry......I was actually quiet scared of setting foot in Bihar, but it is actually quiet safe....every one I came across was friendly.
Anyways....back to how to reach....Patna to Jasidih train ride is about 6 hrs. If you are coming by train find one that comes right upto Jasidih, or find one from wherever ou are coming from to Patna Junction, and then Patna Junction to Jasidih.
From Jasidih to Deoghar its just a 20 mins ride...but quiet a bumpy one.
Now once you reach there...there are quiet a few hotels and motels all over, but the best one was Hotel Mahadev Palace.
Its the best Hotel around the place, almost a 3-Star. The link is Hotel Mahadev Palace
Now once you actually enter the Temple premisis.....you are, as usual, mobbed by Panditjis. Chose anyone if you want to do a proper pooja or just get in the queue for the Darshan, but even once you reach inside, it's crazy....you are pushed and pulled and thrown on the floor. But dont worry....the actual Darshans are worth it!! Or for me atleast....falling down was worth it.
Outside the main temple....there are a lot of tiny little temples, each one is beautiful in its own way. Or maybe the atmosphere is so devotional, you find everything beautiful. The main thing is Parvati mata's temple, and you can actually do a gathjoda between Shivji and Parvati Mata's temples. You pay the Panditji Rs 200(approx), and they give you something that looks like a pom-pom actually, but they send a boy up Shivji's temple, tie one end of it to thetemple, and they throw it down to you....you get a ball of ribbon....you carry it to Parvati Mata's temple, and there they take it up to Parvati Mata's Temples tip and tie it there. You can also opt for various Pooja's the info for which is available at The Temple website given above
Anyways, I am not going to drag on about what to see and what not to see etc, but if you are planning to go to Basukinath, it is an exact replica of Babadham.
Thats all the info you guys might need....however, if you need to know more you can just contact me through this blog.
Om Namah Shivay!!
