Temple

Baba dham is one of the prominent religious sites of Sonipat. It was believed to be a Shiva temple in older times, though now consists of a cluster of smaller shrines like  Shani Mandir, Sai Mander, Radha Kirshan Mandir and more. The temple in present form was constructed around a decade ago. Baba dham goes beyond a religious site to a place where the residents of Sonipat gather for a peaceful evening.

Legend

The site of the temple is believed to have been sacred because of the existence of a Shivlinga and a small temple around it. That small shrine was restored into the Baba dham it is today, a beautiful structure with a cluster of shrines for Hindu deities.
