trikut

Trikut, also spelled Trikut Hill, is a hill near Deoghar in the Indian state of Jharkhand. The name is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "three peaks," reflecting the hill's three prominent summits that rise above the surrounding plain. The hill is part of the Deoghar district's landscape and has long been a place of religious importance and natural beauty.

On the slopes and at the summit are a number of shrines and small temples serving Hindu worshippers. Pilgrims and visitors ascend via a winding path and stairways that lead to viewpoints from the higher ledges. The site combines religious observance with scenic vistas, offering views of Deoghar town and the surrounding countryside.

The site is typically visited by pilgrims who come to see the shrines and to perform rituals, particularly during certain religious periods. It is commonly included in itineraries for visitors to the region, especially those traveling to the nearby Baidyanath (Baidyanath Jyotirlinga) temple complex.

Access to Trikut is from Deoghar by road; the ascent can be undertaken as a day trip, with visitors spending several hours on the hill, exploring the temples and enjoying the landscape. The site is a notable feature of the local tourism and religious landscape in Jharkhand.
