Baba Shivo Devsthan Goran
The place of Bava Shivo is in the village called Goran of Samba district. This place is 20 km from Samba bus stand on the Sumb-Goran road towards the northeast. Buses & matadors plied ever half an hour for this place every day & a fair is held here every Sunday and Tuesday and the Bhandara also runs every day. people from far and wide come here in thousands to express their grief and on getting rid of them pay offerings as well. Much fame is due to the fulfilling of wishes of people by Baba Ji.
Jai Baba Shivo Ji
Earlier this place was maintained by the Baridaars but now a Shrine Development committee is dealing with the affairs of this place which was presided over by its chairman Tehsildar Samba & President Des Raj Sharma & the committee members. Everyday there is a Langer for the devotees & on Sundays & Tuesdays there is huge rush of devotees & a fair like situation. Committee has near about 20 paid workers for cookery langar & other affairs related to dev Sthan.
Before the establishment of the committee there was no development but now there is separate Langar Hall for the devotees & after the establishment of the committee now there are 5 crores rupees in the Bank account of Baba Shivo at J&K Branch Sumb says it's President Des Raj Sharma. He said on Sundays & Tuesdays thousands of the people visit here but the condition of the road is very bad. Although work was started but now due COVID 19 every thing is stalled.
From Goran Bus stand the link that goes to Baba Shivo's darbar has a culvert which is damaged. Although dev Sthan has lot of land but there is no parking fascility. There is one more proposed road from Goran to Village Kootah by Surara & much of earth work has been done but a forest land hillock is a barrier in this road. Devsthan itself has done so much work on this road. When we asked the president Des Raj Sharma that why they not use the money in the bank for development purposes he said the barridars are fighting a civil case in the Hon'ble court claiming their rights.
It amazed me that such a spiritual place where people in tens of thousands visit every month is not in the tourist list of Tourism Deptt like Baba Chamliyal Baba Sidh Goria etc. whatsoever be the reasons this place is still longing for its due share in the tourism map of JKUT & can be the bread & butter earners of hundreds of more people
