Rakher Upobas or Kartik Broto

Lokenath Brahmachari , who is called Baba Lokenath or simply Lokenath, was an 18th-century Hindu saint and philosopher in Bengal. A long time later, Baba Lokenath finished his meditations as he had attained Samadhi (highest meditation), and went to eastern part of India, and settled at a small town village called Barodi, near Dhaka in Bangladesh. When Baba Lokenath was new to the village, he was taunted by the villagers; though not long time after they found out his spiritual mastery and became his devotees.

Now, in every year in the month of Kartik (Bangla Calender) Saturday and Tuesday devotee were gather in the lokenath temple and pray. This is specially done by the devotee so that their wishes (manot) came true.

This is the Loknath temple in Shamibag, Dhaka.
