There are many holy shrines in India which are not only related to people’s faith but also their lives. One such divine pilgrimage is located 15km away from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.
The pilgrims who reach this holy place have been following the penance of the munificent Astik Muni. People here believe that a man/woman bitten by a venomous snake comes alive when brought to the temple.
Well, many people have seen the miracle happen right in front of their eyes. Many people, bitten by snake, come here and are healed.
The grand temple of Satiik Baba is located in Lalupur of Rae Bareli. It was built in the beginning of Kalyug and at that holy place, he used to do sadhi sadhna, austerity on his holy place.
The tradition of pleasing the adorable deity in this majestic temple is also wonderful. Here, people take woods instead of flowers to remove the poison of snakebite and fulfill their obligations. These woods are for human shape. They are called as ghosts of the muni. The wood clods in the temple are of a tree named Kama.
Sage Baba has a deep connection with the snakes of this temple. The devotees who come to the temple believe that even today, after chanting the mantra, the people where the snake came from return to it.
The fame of the temple of Astik Baba is that every year lakhs of people reach here for a glimpse here. The devotees bath in the nearby river Sai and worship the temple in the courtyard.
