Deoghar Gathbandhan Puja

Deoghar Gathbandhan Puja is a very auspicious ritual that takes place at Baba Baidyanath Dham, which is the holy Jyotirlinga representing the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This puja is of great importance to newlyweds and married couples, as it represents the union of husband and wife. It is also believed that the performance of Gathbandhan Puja at Baidyanath Dham brings the blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati for a blissful and happy married life. This puja is also very helpful in removing any obstacles in relationships.

The Gathbandhan Puja starts with the Sankalp, which is done in the name of the couple and their family lineage. After that, the holy mantras and Vedic shlokas are recited by qualified priests. The holy red thread, known as the Gathbandhan Sutra, is first tied on the sacred dome of the Baba Baidyanath Temple and then on the dome of the Mata Parvati Temple, marking the eternal union of the holy couple. The final step is the prayer for the blessings of love, stability, and prosperity in the life of the couple.
