to the world famous Sariska National Park. The temple
attracts a large number of devotees from all over the

made from a pure heart are fulfilled at the Bhartrihari
Temple in Alwar.
The temple is named after Bhartrihari Baba, the ruler
of Ujjain who is believed to have left his kingdom in
order to become a saint. As the legend goes, several
years later, he returned to his wife and pleaded before
her for bhiksha or something to eat. The king's wife
gave him a fruit that he ate and turned immortal. It
is also said that Bhartrihari Baba, with his saintly
powers, prayed to the Lord for several years to bring
water to the place that suffered from acute scarcity
of water in those days. God finally heeded to his plea
and soon a stream of water appeared from a rock. The
historic legend also suggests that Bhartrihari Baba
buried himself alive and that his temple in Alwar today
stands above his grave.

who is believed to rid them of all problems and even
fatal diseases.
