Several devotees arrived at the temple with their own containers and bottles to collect the Ganga Jal.

Organisers informed that due to various reasons, devotees are unable to offer Ganga water to Lord Bhole Baba at Baidyanath Dham during the month of Sawan. Meanwhile devotees flocked Sakchi Shiv Mandir and performed Jalabhishek (ritualistic offering of water) to Lord Bhole Baba using Ganga water.
