Like your usual city bustling with modern-day trades and motions, Deoghar has local trains on the branch line trekkers -- type of jeep, unmetered taxis or hired cars, auto rickshaws, tongas and cycle rickshaws galore.
Movement is pretty easy in Deoghar, the “where to go,” with a map of Deoghar in tow, is another thing.

A treat for historical buffs is the famous Baidyanath (Shiva) temple, which is dated to 1596.
But this location is is some 42 kilometers away from Deoghar -- pretty accessible, and then there are some interesting destinations along the way.
On the outskirts of Deogarh lies peacefully Naulakha Mandir, a beautiful temple of Radha-Krishna. A trip on fine days of June or July, can caught one –as would the thousands of devotees to embark on an arduous 100-kilometer pilgrimage on foot from Ajgaibinath (Sultanganj) in Bhgalpur district to offer holy water from the Ganges to the lingam at Deoghar.
When in Deoghar, the call is to worship the deity, or seemingly so. If it is not one’s inclination, at least these are some things that can pacify the gnawing curiosity. |
On days bewildering, perhaps the Balanand Ashram Yogashala in Karnibagh, a yoga Institution can sooth the soul. Or a fill of a Deoghar speciality called ‘Peda’ -- a type of milk-based sweet-meat can make one’s day.
