Story of Khatushyamji-

Barbarika, grandson of Bhima, was the world’s most powerful warrior – gifted with 3 divine arrows that could end any war. Before the Mahabharata battle, Lord Krishna tested him:

Krishna: “Which side will you fight for?”
Barbarika: “Whoever is weaker!”

But Krishna knew a secret – Barbarika’s power would force the war to never end (as he’d keep switching sides). To protect dharma, Krishna asked for his head as charity.

The loyal warrior agreed but requested:

  1. “Let me watch the war till the end”

  2. “Let my name be worshipped in Kaliyuga”

Krishna placed his head on a hill, where he witnessed the entire Mahabharata. Today, we know him as Shyam Baba – the god who fulfills wishes of those who call him with true devotion.

(Personal Note: I visited in January – the cold was harsh but the sunrise aarti was magical!)

My solo trip experience at khatushyamji

That Sunday morning, my Nexon and I set out on a special journey – just me, my thoughts, and the open road. The drive was so peaceful, with golden fields flying by my window. When I reached the temple around 11:30, the place was alive with devotion – families, sadhus, and pilgrims like me, all united in faith.

Yes, there were crowds (it was Sunday after all!), but there was something beautiful about waiting in line together. The smell of flowers, the sound of bells, the shared patience – it all felt so human. My Nexon waited patiently outside, like a faithful friend.

After my darshan, I treated myself to warm kachoris from a sweet old vendor who called me “beta”. Driving back as the sun set, I realized – sometimes the best company is your own, and the best journeys are the ones that touch your heart.

Note to fellow travelers: The crowds can be overwhelming, but there’s magic in experiencing the temple alive with people’s faith.
