Deoghar is a Hindi word and the accurate meaning of ‘Deoghar’ is abode (‘ghar’) of the Gods and Goddesses (‘dev’).Deoghar is an ancient town famous for its group of 22 temples devoted to the Hindu god Shiva.

The sanctity of Deoghar lies in its legend of Ravana who went all the way to Mount Kailash, pleading Shiva to make Lanka his hoe.

Ravana’s other was an passionate devotee of Shiva and she worshipped a Shivling made of clay, which soon dissolved with daily pouring of water over it.

This prompted Ravana to implore Shiva if he would reside in Lanka.

Lord Shiva did not consent to Ravana’s prayer but offered him one of twelve emblems of his divinity (Jyotiralinga) which would be quite as effective and that he might take it away on the condition that the transfer should be affected without breaking the journey.

Moreover if the linga was placed elsewhere on earth during the journey, it would remain fixed on that spot forever.
