History
of
Khatu
Shyam
Baba
Temple,
Barbarik
temple:
During
the
Mahabharata,
Khatu
Shyam
Baba
embodied
the
form
of
"Barbarik",
the
grandson
of
Maharaj
Bhima
and
Ghatovacchak.
Barbarik
was
an
extremely
brave
and
powerful
warrior
since
childhood.
Seeing
the
same
force
skill
of
Barbarik,
Agni
Dev
gave
him
a
special
bow,
and
Lord
Shiva
gave
him
three
arrows
as
a
boon.
Due
to
this
boon,
barbarians
began
to
be
called
"three
arrows."
After
seeing
the
fierce
battle
of
the
Mahabharata,
Barbaric
expressed
his
desire
to
become
a
witness
of
war.
He
allowed
his
mother
to
go
to
war
and
took
out
all
the
three
arrows
to
fight
for
the
war.
When
the
barbarians
were
going
to
war
then
Lord
Shri
Krishna
told
them
to
take
their
exams
that
no
one
can
win
the
battle
with
only
three
arrows.
Explaining
the
significance
of
the
three
arrows,
Barberik
said
that
his
first
arrow
will
mark
the
fixed
places
and
the
second
and
third
arrows
can
safely
secure
and
destroy
those
places.
Because
of
this
boon
received
from
Barbarik,
both
Kauravas
and
Pandavas
wanted
to
keep
them
in
their
favor.
Then
Lord
Krishna
demanded
his
head
from
the
form
of
a
Brahmin
and
donated
it
to
Barbarik.
Due
to
this
strange
demand,
Barbaric
asked
them
to
come
to
him
in
their
true
form.
Then
Shri
Krishna
appeared
and
told
Barbarik
as
the
heroic
Kshatriya
and
warrior
of
that
war,
he
told
him
that
the
sacrifice
of
the
most
heroic
and
Kshatriya
warrior
in
the
battle
is
very
important.
Therefore,
hearing
his
such
promise,
Barbriak
cut
his
head
and
gave
it
to
Shri
Krishna
as
a
gift.
Then
Lord
Shri
Krishna
saw
his
wonderful
gift
and
gave
him
a
boon
that
he
will
be
known
in
the
entire
world
as
the
name
of
"Shyam"
in
the
name
of
Shri
Krishna.

Shyam
Temple
Lord
Krishna
dedicated
the
barbaryak's
head
to
the
river
Rupvati
at
the
end
of
the
war.
Then
in
Kaliyug,
Khatu
Shyam
Mandir
was
established
in
Phalgun
month
after
the
dream
of
the
king
of
Khatu
village
and
the
wonders
surrounding
the
Shyam
Kund.

day
of

Masat,

Baba
was
installed
in
that
temple.
In
1720
AD,

rebuilt

temple

who
