History & tradition
Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga, also known as Baidyanath, Vaijnath or Baijnath, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the most sacred abodes of Shiva. The Baidyanath Temple at Deoghar in Jharkhand is revered by its devotees as this Jyotirlinga. The identification is not settled, however: temples at Parli in Maharashtra and at Baijnath in Himachal Pradesh are also held by their own traditions to be the Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga.
