CONFIGURATION OF THE GROUND

Deoghar, known for its spiritual significance and natural beauty, boasts a gently sloping and rolling topography adorned with low hillocks and small ranges, some of which exhibit abrupt peaks. The hill ranges stretch from the East and North-east to the West and South-west directions, adding to the picturesque landscape. Among the notable peaks in the region are Trikut Pahar, standing tall at 2,470 feet, making it the highest peak in the Deoghar Division, and Phuljori Pahar, reaching an elevation of 2,312 feet. Additional hills in the area include Bitaru Pahar at 1,324 feet, Dharam Pahar at 1,196 feet, and Malui Pahar at 1,078 feet.
The average altitude of the ground level in Deoghar ranges from 250 to 300 feet, contributing to the overall charm of the region. However, the landscape has experienced significant erosion, leading to the formation of gullies and ravines in various areas. The general drainage pattern follows a course from the Northeast to the Southeast. Several rivers traverse the region, including Ajay, Jayanti, and Patro, flowing from the West to the East before eventually joining the Bhagirathi River. It is worth noting that most of the streams in the area remain dry for a considerable part of the year, adding to the unique characteristics of Deoghar's terrain.
Overall, the configuration of the ground in Deoghar presents a captivating blend of gently sloping landscapes, rolling hills, and distinct peaks, accompanied by the effects of erosion and an intricate drainage system. This natural setting adds to the allure and scenic beauty of the region, making Deoghar an appealing destination for visitors and nature enthusiasts alike.
