The Khatushyam Temple is a Hindu temple in the village of Khatushyamji, Rajasthan, (Sikar district) India. It is a pilgrimage site for worshipping the deity Krishna and Barbarika who is often venerated as a Kuladevata. Devotees believe the temple houses the head of Barbarika or Khatushyam, a legendary warrior who sacrifices his head upon the request of Krishna during the antebellum of the Kurukshetra War. Before the beginning of the Mahābhārata battle, Barbarika's last wish was to see the war "Mahabharat" so Lord krishna himself placed his head on the top of a mountain for Barbarika to see the war. Many years after Kali Yuga started, the head was found buried in the village of Khatu (District- Sikar) in present-day Rajasthan. The location was obscured until well after the Kali Yuga period began. Then, on one occasion, milk started flowing spontaneously out of a cow's udder when she neared the burial spot. Amazed at this incident, the local villagers dug the place up and the buried head was revealed. The head was handed over to a Brahmin who worshipped it for many days, awaiting divine revelations as to what was to be done next. Roopsingh Chauhan, king of Khatu, then had a dream where he was inspired to build a temple and install the head therein. Subsequently, a temple was built and the idol was installed on the 11th day of the Shukla Paksha (bright half) of the month of Phalgun.

I'm a bengali from Kolkata married to a Rajasthani girl from Jaipur. I found it extremely intersting that Khatu Shyam ji is a major pilgrimage site for Marwaris from Kolkata. The first thing which struck me was the colourful facade of the main temple. Have never seen any other Mandir structure like it. Felt the story of Barbarika and his moral stand at Kurukshetra was fascinating. The emergence of Shri Shyam Ji, and how the worshipped idol came to acquire its current look, is also interesting. Despite the intense pressure of visitors, the temple has successfully managed to utilise whatever little space it has. Broadly clean, without much hassle. The approach road is congested and snakes along the old village of Khatu. Devotees need to persevere though. The wait time can be 25-30 minutes even on lean days. We were lucky enough to know people who got us in through a backdoor VIP entry. That unfortunately means you can get access if you know the right man in the temple administration.

I just love this place ?? Every month there is occurs full night concert like Bhajan kirtan specially gyaras People come here not only from rajasthan but also from all over India There is lot of resorts, hotel ?, dharmshala Wide area for parking, Petrol pump Bus stand, availability almost 24×7 Near by Railway station? around 18 kilometres

Khatu Shyam Ji Mandir is located in the district of Sikar, Rajasthan, and is considered as one of the most important pilgrim destinations in the state. Khatu Shyam Ji is the manifestation of the son of Ghatotkacha, Barbarika. It is said that devotees who pronounce his name from the bottom of their hearts are blessed and have their troubles removed, if they do it with true piety. Complete mess and chaotic but in all that I found the peace. Must visit. ?

Mesmerizing experience. Wonderful holy hindu temple. Aroma of tranquility is flowing everywhere. Khatu shyam mandir is "sidha mandir" No person shall go empty hands from here. Every one get blessings from Shyam Baba. I feel it.. Jai shree shyam.
