HAVELI BABA SHRAVANNATH

It is built in the form of fortress. Baba Shravannathji, a great sadhu and preceptor built it in the seventeenth century. It contains the marble statues of Lord Sri Krishna and the five Pandava brothers along with Bhishma Pitamaha. The oddity of its origin wrings veneration. It is said that once the famous sadhu Lachman Giri visited it and asked the inmates to supply milk. The sishyas, out of respect for the sadhu poured milk into his begging bowl, but how much and how long. The bowl could not be filled, however much they tried. When the miracle reached the preceptor, he himself came and started pouring from his kamandal. Despite an endless flow of milk seen by all, the bowl refused to touch the brim, nor the kamandal found emptied. The miracle went on for some time, when the Baba and the Sadhu recognized each other's supernatural powers. On recognition, they embraced each other. As it is sanctified thus, it is attracting people of all types.
