Where is the Shyam temple demolished by Aurangzeb? - it tells about the ancient Khatu Shyam temple that was demolished by Mughal Badshah Aurangzeb.
Do you know that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb demolished the original temple of Shyam Baba in Khatu and built a mosque in its place?
Do you also know that the Shyam temple where you go to see Shyam Baba now was built after the death of Aurangzeb?
Today we are going to give you an important information related to the temple of Shyam Baba, about which very few people know.
Thousands of years after the Mahabharata war, Barbarik's head came to Khatu floating in a river and got buried under a mound, which the Chauhan king here got installed in a temple at a short distance from the place where it appeared, i.e. the present Shyam Kund.
Today most of the people do not know about the original temple of Shyam Baba in Khatu.
About the original temple of Khatu Shyam Ji, Pandit Jhabarmall Sharma's book Khatu Shyam Ji Ka Itihaas mentions on page number 40 and 49 that the king got the idol from Shyam Kund and installed it in an ancient temple in the market. At that time, there was a Shiva temple in the Parikrama of this temple, which is still present today.
In the Mughal period, Emperor Aurangzeb demolished this ancient temple of Shyam Baba and built a mosque in its place. Even today you can see that ancient Shiva temple near this mosque built in place of Shyam temple.
After the death of Aurangzeb, in 1720 AD, the ruler of Jodhpur, Abhay Singh started the new temple of Shyam Baba and when the construction of the temple was completed, Baba Shyam's head was installed in that temple.
Today, the temple we go to Khatu to see Shyam Baba is not the original temple of Shyam Baba but the second temple built by the ruler of Jodhpur, Abhay Singh.
