Sri Baba Balak Nath Ji is a Hindu deity worshipped specially in the Northern Indian States and generally all over the country and abroad as well. The devotees offer ‘rot’, which is prepared with ‘flour’ and ‘gur’ at the altar of Baba, (if pure clarified sugarcane juice is boiled, what is left as solid is gur which is called jaggery also). Goats are also offered to Babaji as a gesture for his love. Goats are not slaughtered rather they are being fed and taken care of. Just 4 kilometers ahead of the Deot-Sidh Temple is a small town named "Shah-talai". It is situated about 55 km off-road Bilaspur on Bhager- Badser road. The ancient name of this place was Changer-Talai. Baba Balak Nath’s worship and grazing of Mata Ratno’s cattle’s, later returning her mattress of Chach, got famous by the name of Chhahtalai which later turned to Shahtalai, where Babaji is said to have practiced Dhyana meditation. Shahtalai is famous as "Taposthali" of Sri Baba Balak Nath Ji. Baba Balaknath ji's Miracle in Shah Talai

It is told that Baba Ji came to Bachhretu Mahadev from Kurukshetra where he had come with saints at the time of Solar Eclipse. There after Baba Ji came to Shaha Talai and met 'Ratno Mai' - the epitome of 'Dwapra's old woman' who had guided 'Mahakaul Baba Ji'. Thus Baba Ji was to compensate what that old woman had done for Him in 'Dvapra Yuga'. So Baba Ji took the most inconvenient work of Ratno Mai i.e. cow-grazing


Tapsya Sathali of Sidh Shri Baba Balak Nath Ji

Baba Ji made his shelter below a Banyan Tree. He told Ratno Mai that he would meditate below Banyan Tree and graze the cows side by side. He asked her to leave the bread and 'Lassi' (mashed curd) for him there for eating after meditation. Baba Ji committed with Ratno Mai to work for her so long she would remain satisfied. Everything remained smooth till twelve years. People started complaining the damage to crop field by the cows by the end of 12th year. Shah Talai Temple History

Ratno Mai used to ignore such complaints; but the complaint of village head man broke the patience of Ratno Mai and she started rebuking Baba Ji. At this, Baba Ji took Ratno Mai and village head man to the field and on spot there was no damage at all. Everybody was taken aback by this miracle. Baba Ji came back to his place of worship and asked Ratno Mai to take back her cows and let him go his way. Ratno Mai out of motherly affection tried to persuade Baba Ji and reminded him about her providing bread and lassi for 12 years. Baba Ji told that he has kept all the bread and lassi safely as he never ate them. By saying that Baba Ji threw away his 'Chimata' on the stem of Banyan Tree and the breads supplied for 12 years came out. He further forcibly threw the same 'Chimata' on the earth and spring of Lassi started coming out taking the shape of a pond and the place came to be known as Shah Talai'.
