This Religious Eclecticism is complicated by
the presence of a strong tradition of the Worship of Sidh Shri Baba
Balak Nath Ji in this Region of the Punjab. The official cult of Baba Balak
Nath Ji is centered around the Guffa (Cave) in Shahtalai, North of
Hoshiarpur and High in the foothills of Himachal Pradesh. The Temple is located
on a Mountain and Function as a Strong Regional Center of Pilgrimage.
Deoth-Sidh
a famous pilgrim town is 56 km, away from Hamirpur town and only 10
km from Shah-Talai. Dedicated to Child Saint Baba Balaknath a cave
temple is located here on a spur of a hill. As the name suggests,
Deoth Sidh means 'Light of Truth'. The cave temple always remains
lighted. Women are forbidden to enter the cave and thus pray
and make their offerings on the entrance only.
