About Khatu Shyam MandirKhatu, in Sikar district of Rajasthan, is the dham of Khatu Shyam, worshipped as Krishna’s own form and name. By tradition Barbarik, the grandson of Bhima, came to the Mahabharata war with three unfailing arrows and a vow to fight only for the weaker side; Krishna asked for his head as daan, he gave it, and Krishna blessed him to be worshipped in Kaliyug as Shyam, the Haare ka Sahara. His birthday is celebrated at Khatu on Devuthani Ekadashi, the Kartik Ekadashi on which Vishnu wakes after four months of yoga-nidra and the season of weddings and new beginnings opens again. On this day families bring the losses they cannot turn, the shubh kaam that keep getting delayed and the wishes they have carried for years, and offer them to Shyam Baba on his own birthday.
How the ritual is performedOn Devuthani Ekadashi Shyam Baba is adorned at Khatu and the Janmotsav sankalp is taken in your naam-gotra.
Why DivyachadhavaFamilies want their naam-gotra spoken clearly, the shringar done with care, and the sankalp taken on Devuthani Ekadashi itself at Khatu.
Before the Mahabharata war, Barbarik gave his own head to Krishna, and Krishna named him Shyam, the support of all who lose. His birthday falls on Devuthani Ekadashi, once a year, the day Vishnu wakes and shubh kaam begin again. At Khatu, Shyam Baba is adorned and your naam-gotra is offered for his blessing.
