Trikut, 24 km west of Deoghar, is famous for its hill temples. The state highway leading to Dumka will take one to Trikut. Legend has it that many a sage attained salvation on the top of three bills situated here, popularly known as Trikut. The name of the hills has been derived from the three distinct peaks. If one travels by a bus or Trekker, one has to alight and climb to the tip of the hills, using the concrete steps built into the slopes of the hill. The hill consists of huge boulders. On the right in a small temple Parvati is worshipped. Close to her lies a Shivling. People flock here from far and wide during Shivratri.
There is also a temple built in the memory of a sage who had meditated in this rugged terrain. The temple is well maintained.If one climbs further one can reach to another temple where a lady Sanaysin still resides. She comes out of the cave only once in a day.The shrine of Swami Sampadananda, who lived here for 64 years, is also wroth visiting.
