Manak Sidh Baba Mandir

Such a beautiful location...also i love the gur prashad since childhood

I often visit this temple because it's near to my home. This is beautiful destination to spend your off days. It is located in Buddi Gaon on Shimla Bypass Road (Mohabbewala). *West Direction*nPuja day:- Main puja is conducted every Sunday in which jaggery is offered to the devotees.nManak Siddh is a holy shrine dedicated to Sage Manak, one of the 84 disciples of Lord Dattatreya. It is one of the four revered pilgrimage sites of Dehradun. The four pilgrimage sites are located at a radius of 15kms from the capital city of Dehradun at four different directions. It is believed that visiting the four pilgrimage sites on the same day with an empty stomach fulfils the wishes of the devotee.nAccording to belief, in the middle of the Treta Yuga, the great Rishi Attri and Mata Sati Anusuya lived in their ashram. The Tridev (Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh) gave them a boon that they would have a son. The son was extremely high spirited and sharp minded since childhood. Later he studied under 24 gurus and mastered all the genres. He came to be known as Guru Dattatreya. He had 9 Naths and 84 disciples. Dattatreya, on getting old, summoned his 84 disciples and accorded them equal rights, saying that they would achieve salvation by worshipping Shiva. Out of these 84 babas, 4 babas- Kalu Baba, Lakshman Baba, Manak Baba and Baba Mandu walked towards Kedarkhand in the north and settled at different places in Dehradun. They continuously performed severe religious austerities for many years and a pleased Shiva asked them what they wanted. He blessed the four with divine powers. Even today, the Shiva Linga is present and worshipped at all four Siddhas.nBrief about Manak siddh:- Manak Siddh was a saint(Manik) who had meditated and engaged in a great penance at the same place where the temple is located now. He devoted his life completely to the worship of Lord Shiva and Laxmi-Narayan. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Shiva blessed him and he was to safeguard the culture and religion and awaken the people of the place.n3 other Siddhas are:nLaxman Siddh( Harrawala, haridwar/rishikesh road) *South direction*nKalu siddh( Kaluwala village, Thano Road Bhaniyawala ) *East direction*nMandu Siddh(Phulsani,Aamwala near Nimi river ,Premnagar, ) *North direction*
