Chulkana Dham History
It is believed to be the place where Baba Shyam Ji donated his head. During the Mahabharata war, the soldiers who reached there were scared on seeing the huge Baba. Lord Sri Krishna asked the Pandavas to come after knowing his identity.
Sri Krishna asked Barbarik for the donation of his head in the guise of a Brahmin. Barbarik told that he would donate his head, and added that a Brahmin will never ask for the donation of a head. He asked about his real identity, and Sri Krishna revealed it.
Sri Krishna said that the sacrifice of the warrior is needed for the success of the war. He also added that the sacrifice for protection will be remembered. Barbarik prayed to the god and goddess, and bowed to his mother. He separated the head from the body in one stroke.
His head was donated to Lord Krishna. Shri Krishna took his head in his hand, sprinkled it with the nectar, making it immortal. He placed it in a mound. The place where the head was kept is the holy place, Chulkana Dham.
