:o::o::o:Have they got Private or Public bath ???
Both, but last time i visit, only 20 person reached the Bhawan, and rest of the people stayed in Aadh Kuwari. So in the Morning the whole bathing place was empty LOLZ, The way to Bhairoan Baba was imposible to reach, we tried but returned after few metre. The snow fall makes it impossible to see the path.
