Dashopachar Puja

Dashopachar Puja at Baba Baidyanath Dham is an elaborate and highly revered form of worship dedicated to Lord Shiva, performed with ten sacred offerings or “Dashopachar.” This puja is considered more comprehensive than the Panchopachar Puja, as it involves ten offerings to invoke divine blessings and show deep devotion.

The ten offerings in Dashopachar Puja include:

1. Pushp (Flowers) – Symbolizing purity and reverence.
2. Dhoop (Incense) – For creating a divine atmosphere.
3. Deep (Lamp) – Representing light and knowledge.
4. Naivedya (Food) – Offering food to the deity as a symbol of gratitude.
5. Water – Used for purification and to cleanse the surroundings.
6. Chandan (Sandalwood) – Applied for fragrance and cooling.
7. Perfume – To enhance the sacred environment.
8. Clothes – Offered to the deity as a symbol of respect.
9. Fruits – To express devotion and gratitude for life’s blessings.
10. Betel leaves and nuts – Given as a gesture of goodwill.

This puja is typically conducted during auspicious days, especially during the month of Shravan. It holds great significance in strengthening the bond between the devotee and Lord Shiva, invoking health, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment. The temple of Baba Baidyanath Dham, being one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, attracts devotees from all over the world for this divine ritual.
