DEOGHAR |
|
|
| There are more
than 300 families of Pandas who all belong to a branch of the Maithil Brahmans. They help
the pilgrims in performing the -various ceremonies connected with the worship of God. One
of the Pandas of Deoghar had taken a considerable part in the Non-co-operation movement
and had become the Chief Minister of Bihar under the Congress regime from 1961 to 1963. Some
of the sons of the Panda families have also become lawyers, doctors, teachers etc. Deoghar
has also a few other recent Hindu religious institutions, which may be briefly mentioned.
A Yogic Sadhu of Maharashtrian origin, Sri Balanand Brahmachari, hailing from Ujjain, had
established an ashram at Tapoban, a hillock at the outskirts of Deoghar. |
