The temples of Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur's temple life is domestic rather than touristic. Baba Garibnath is the town's principal Shiva shrine and the terminus of a kanwar route of its own, with water carried from Pahleja Ghat through Shravan; the rest of the year it is a neighbourhood temple in a commercial lane.
The town sits in Tirhut, so its observance follows Mithila's calendar more often than the generic north Indian one. The heavy days are the Shravan Mondays and Mahashivratri, and the approach on both is walked.
Baba Garibnath is in a commercial lane that is walked rather than driven, and the temple is busiest at the two ends of the day. Through Shravan the approach becomes a single queue for the month and local families move their own bookings to the following one, which is worth knowing before a trip is planned around a date in it.
Vaishali is an hour south and is a monument as much as a shrine; Sitamarhi and Janakpur, further north, belong to the Ramayana circuit and draw Tirhut families for that reason. Darbhanga's Shakta temples are two hours east and are the usual pairing for a longer trip. Vaishali is a straightforward drive; Sitamarhi is a longer one and is usually made for a specific occasion.
