History of badhubara deo
This god represents a ruhdh from the Kanait community of Badhu village. Its temple is situated in Batwara. Ordinarily, a Hindu is not permitted to enter the temple during the sutak or mutak days, i.e. within ten to fifteen days from the birth of a child in the house; or within sixteen days from the death of a relative. No such restriction is placed on the brotherhood of the god.
Badhubara is said to fulfil the desires of every one of his followers. When such desire is fulfilled the follower affixes a rupee and a pice on the wooden pillar in the temple by means of a nail. Such coins can be seen in abundance.
The image of the god is in stone. When the god is taken out the people place him in a chariot and carry him on their shoulders. The image is decorated with gold and silver ornaments and is taken from village to village; his followers being entertained in a princely manner everywhere.
It is stated that only recently an old man, who was very weak and had been confined to bed for many months, prayed that if the god would grant him strength to move to the neighbouring village where the god was expected the next day, he would offer a certain amount of money to the god. When the god reached that village the sick man gained strength to walk to the village where he paid his homage to the god and made the offering. He returned home the next day quite hale and hearty.
