Every year, millions of people walk barefoot across the dust of Rajasthan, saffron flags on their shoulders, chanting two syllables: Shyam, Shyam. They are not heading to a grand royal monument or a celebrated wonder. They are walking toward a small marble temple in a quiet town called Khatu, in Sikar district, to bow before a deity who is worshipped not as a whole body, but as a severed head.That single fact tells you this is no ordinary story.<\/p>

To understand Khatu Shyam Ji<\/a><\/strong>, you have to travel back to the Mahabharata, to a warrior so powerful he could have ended the greatest war in Hindu mythology in a single minute, and to a sacrifice so complete that Lord Krishna gave the young man his own name. This is the full history of Khatu Shyam Ji -the legend, the temple, and the reason a fallen warrior became one of India’s most beloved gods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
