In Rajasthan, Shyam Baba, the beloved deity of Khatu, is worshiped as the “God of Kali Yuga”, who immediately responds to the call of his devotees. For centuries, countless stories of their divine interventions have become part of living folklore. These stories – were narrated by the elderly, sung in hymns and recited during temple ceremonies – not only religious accounts but also a testimony to unwavering faith. Below is Khatu Shyam ji’s collection of some of the most famous miracle stories, which are still remembered with reverence.
1. Miracle of drought (18th century)
In the early 1800s, the Khatu region in Rajasthan and its surrounding villages faced one of the most destructive droughts in living memory. The desert climate had already made agriculture weak, and the land became barren due to lack of timely rains. The wells, which were the lifeline of the villagers, dried up and animals started dying due to lack of water. The crops dried up before sprouting. People were pushed to the brink of famine. At this point, when every human effort failed, the villagers turned to the God of their divine savior – Shyam Baba, Khatu.
A large group of villagers gathered at the Khatu Shyam Ji temple and for three consecutive days, they made kirtan, bhajans and prayers without stopping. He sang with so much faith and frustration that the atmosphere was filled with devotion. Later, the elders said that the sound of “Shyam Shyam” was echoing in the barren land, as if nature was also waiting to react.
On the third day, when expectations were almost over, there was a sudden dark cloud in the sky. Lightning started shining on the horizon and soon heavy rains started. The wells that dried up started filling again, dry lands absorbed water and crops were miraculously revived. The one who seemed impossible with worldly means became possible with divine intervention.
This miracle was remembered for generations. Even today, during the delayed monsoon or when farmers suffer from crop failure for many years, people gather in Khatu and sing hymns remembering this incident. They believe that when worldly powers fail, Baba’s blessings can turn impossible into possible. This incident firmly established Shyam Baba as a kind deity of the people, who immediately respond to prayers in times of need.
2. The lost child returned (about 1820, Phalgun Mela)
Around 1820, during the annual Phalgun Fair in Khatu, which is still one of the largest gatherings of devotees, a cardiac incident turned into one of Shyam Baba’s most famous miracle stories. A family from a nearby village went to Khatu for darshan during a grand festival. Thousands of devotees lost their younger son in the sea. In a noisy crowd of hymns, drums and processions, parents started searching for his name, but the child was not found anywhere.
Distraught and disappointed, the parents eventually went in front of the idol of Baba inside the temple and wept, and dedicated their pain at their feet. He prayed with folded hands and begs Shyam Baba to return his child. A few moments later, the devotees were surprised to see the missing boy sleeping peacefully on the stairs of the temple. He was safe, cool and safe despite heavy chaos outside. The family believed that Shyam Baba himself took the child back to the temple and placed it in a safe place.
The incident spread widely and was deeply vested in Shyam folklore. Since then, Shyam Baba has been worshiped as a divine protector of children. Parents who bring their children to Khatu often describe this miracle, causing them the belief that Baba’s care is like a lovely guardian who never lets his devotees suffer. Even in modern times, there are countless stories of lost children to meet their families again after being found near the temple of lost children or praying to Baba. During the Falgun fair, when the crowd becomes heavy, the parents remember the story of 1820 and assure themselves that Shyam Baba always takes care of the children. This miracle not only saved a family from disappointment, but also strengthened the trust of millions, who still believe that Khatu Shyam ji protects like a divine father in the time of helplessness.

This rider, shining with divine glow, seemed to guide them amidst the firing of the rider, landmine and enemy. The bullets, which they should have attached, mysteriously missed their goals. The soldiers who had given up hope suddenly found themselves alive and safe after encounters. Later, he admitted with strong belief that the rider was none other than Shyam Baba himself, who fulfilled his promise of Mahabharata to protect the helpless in Kali Yuga.
After the end of the war, many soldiers and their families came to the Khatu Shyam ji temple in gratitude, presenting their medals, uniforms and war souvenirs. Some people walked barefoot from their villages to Khatu to fulfill their vows of thanks. This miracle strengthened Baba’s image not only as a protector of farmers and traders but also as the patron of soldiers and warriors, as he was during the Mahabharata war.
