The Bijagad sacred grove located in the Khargone district (West Nimar) of Madhya Pradesh. The Bijagad Sacred Grove experiences a massive influx of devotees during Mahashivratri and the holy month of Shravan, when an annual multi-day fair (mela) is organized. The site is located approximately 40 kilometers from the Khargone district headquarters, near the village of Jalalabad.
The Bijagad Sacred Grove, centered around the historic Bijagarh Fort and the Bijagad Mahadev Temple, is a spiritually and ecologically significant site nestled in the Satpura Mountain Range of the Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. It functions as a protected natural pocket where local tribal traditions intersect with religious and environmental preservation.
The heart of the grove is a natural cave shrine housing a Swayambhu (self-manifested) Shiva Lingam. Water continuously trickles down from the rocks above, performing a natural ritual bathing (abhishek) of the deity. It is popularly referred to by locals as the "Amarnath of Satpura". Surrounded by Teak tree.
