The Goddess association at Baidyanath Dham
Deoghar district documents Baba Baidyanath Dham as a major Shiva Jyotirlinga destination. This directory records a Goddess association in the same pilgrimage setting. The Shiva shrine's prominence should not be used to infer every detail of Jai Durga worship.
Baidyanath and Vaidyanath appear in different spellings and in discussions of more than one claimed Jyotirlinga location. This entry specifically concerns Deoghar in Jharkhand. Keep the state and town with the name when comparing accounts.
Names recorded in the tradition
- Goddess
- Mata Jai Durga
- Bhairava
- Baidyanath
- Sati association in this list
- Heart (Hridaya)
These are devotional associations, not archaeological findings. Lists and local identifications can differ.
