Location
Sultanganj is an important religious center for the Hindus. Situated on the bed of river Ganges, it is 26 km away from Bhagalpur. A large number of pilgrims visit this place in the month of Shravana (July-August), in order to fetch water from the north-flowing Ganges. After walking bare feet for about 80 km, on the trek from Sultanganj to Deoghar, the congregation moves to Lord Baidyanatha temple at Deoghar, to offer prayers and pour the Gangajal (Holy Water) on the deity.
