- Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga temple, also known as Baba dham and Baidyanath dham is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the most sacred abodes of Shiva. The location of Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga is disputed. The claimed locations are:
* Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga, Deoghar, Jharkhand
* Shri Vaijnath Temple, Parli, Maharashtra
* Baijnath temple, Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh In Dwadasa jyothirlinga sthothram, Adi Sankaracharya has praised Vaidyanath jyothirlinga in following verses, Poorvothare prajwalika nidhanesada vasantham girija samethamsurasuraradhitha padapadmamsrivaidyanatham thamaham namami This states that Vaidyanath jyotirlinga is at Prajwalika nidhanam (meaning funeral place i.e., chithabhoomi) in the North-Eastern part of the country. Deoghar is far in east compared to Parli, Maharashtra which is in west central part of the country today at Beed. Also Chidabhoomi indicates that, in olden days, this was a funeral place, where corpses are burnt and post-death ceremonies were performed. This place could have been a centre of tantric cults like Kapalika/Bhairava where Shiva is worshipped significantly as smasan vasin (meaning, residing in crematorium), sava bhasma bhushita (meaning, smearing body with ashes of burnt bodies). This Śloka is true but the reference is for North East part of this Āryāvarta by which Baidyanath Dham is in northern region. (en)
