For about 850 years, people of every religion have been visiting the shrine of Beehad Wale Baba to pay their respects. It is said about this shrine, which is considered miraculous, that two lions clean the shrine with their tails and then disappear into the ravines. This miraculous shrine is located in the dense ravines of the Etawah district headquarters in Uttar Pradesh. An annual Urs is also organised at this shrine, in which people of every religion participate.
Believing in this miracle, children, women, old and young people go through a lot of trouble in the jungle and reach the shrine without any fear to pay their respects. The flow of devotees to the shrine has been going on for about 850 years, not just today. On Thursdays, it seems as if it is not a jungle but a market in a crowded city. The flow of devotees starts from the morning itself on that day and continues till late evening. There is no clear path to reach this shrine, even though people come here to pay their respects, which is commendable.
Mohammad Aslam, the caretaker of the shrine, said that two lions come from the jungle to clean the shrine, and after cleaning, they go back to the ravine. He believes that if any devotee is returning from the shrine, he does not feel any kind of danger. It is believed that this is the effect of the miracle of Beehad Wale Baba, and that is why no devotee faces any kind of danger. Whatever a person asks for is fulfilled in every situation, and after that, they come here to offer their prayer.
It is said that during the war between Muhammad Ghori and Raja Sumer Shah, Ghori’s commander Shamsuddin used to keep watch from the ravines here. After he passed away, his tomb was established in the ravine. It is also said that when he was in the role of commander, lions used to come to him and after the creation of the tomb, three lions were seen roaming around it. When this scene was witnessed by the devotees who came to worship in the ravine, they got scared at first, but the lions did not harm them.
As soon as people started getting information about the lions coming to the shrine, they also started reaching there to pay their respects. Since then, this trend has been going on continuously. Mohammad Sultan, a resident of Etawah City, said that when he gets a message from Baba, he reaches the shrine to pay his respects.
Mohammad Farooq of Etawah City said that this is a miraculous shrine. It is generally believed that two lions come here from the ravines at night, clean the shrine with their tails, and return. The local people demand that the administration should construct a clean road to reach the shrine of Beehad Wale Baba.
