Khatu Shyam Ji Temple

Shree Shyam Mandir at Khatu, in Rajasthan's Sikar district, is the shrine of Khatu Shyam Ji — worshipped as Barbarika, the grandson of Bhima, who gave away his own head before the Mahabharata war and received from Krishna the promise that he would be worshipped by Krishna's own name in the age of Kali. What is venerated here is the head itself, found, tradition holds, where the Shyam Kund now stands.
