History & significance

A mud volcano in Hingol National Park venerated by Hindus as an embodiment of Shiva under the name Baba Chandrakup, and a station of the four-day Hinglaj Yatra held each April alongside the nearby Hinglaj Mata Temple.

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Pilgrims hold that the Hinglaj Mata temple may be entered only after homage has first been paid to Baba Chandrakup.
