Overview
Kaal Bhairav Puja for families in Chowk
Kaal Bhairav Puja is devotion to Bhairav, the fierce and protective form of Lord Shiva. In Varanasi he holds a special place as the Kotwal, the guardian of the city, and many pilgrims traditionally seek his darshan after visiting Kashi Vishwanath.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.
