Today, people overlook Dhableswar’s rich heritage and focus instead on its great wealth. Baba Dhableswar manifests as a majestic lion with a thick mane. At 3 a.m., officials open the hill, make all necessary arrangements, and unlock the door for public viewing.
A disciplined line of devotees now experiences darshan at the peetha, with thousands gathering to worship. Baba Dhableshwar’s favourite pastimes of swimming will take place during the tranquil moments of Triodashi and Chaturdashi. Devotees who observe the Lada Osha and Kartik Vrat complete their vows by bathing and swimming. Pilgrims crowd around to catch a glimpse of Baba Dhableswar.
Tonight at 3 a.m., officials will open the doors again, and Baba will receive a grand bath with 108 gara of water, which will later be distributed to devotees. After the nighttime bhog, officials will distribute it among the devotees. A large police force ensures peace and order in the Pith area.
