About Baba Balak Nath Temple
The Baba Balak Nath Temple is a revered Hindu shrine located in Deothsidh, Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. Dedicated to Baba Balak Nath, a deity worshipped as an incarnation of Lord Kartikeya (son of Lord Shiva), this temple attracts thousands of devotees every year, especially during the Navratri festival.
The temple is situated in a cave on a hilltop, and devotees have to climb a series of steps to reach it. According to legend, Baba Balak Nath meditated in this cave and attained spiritual enlightenment. The temple is known for its spiritual aura and the belief that sincere prayers made here are fulfilled. A unique aspect of this temple is that women are not allowed to enter the main cave shrine.
