Worship of the eight forms of Lord Bhairav at Shri Batuk Bhairav Temple, Varanasi, with mantra chanting and sacred hymns.
Asth Bhairav Pujan honours Lord Bhairav, regarded as the guardian of all directions. Devotees turn to him for protection from fear, negativity and obstacles. The puja is performed at Shri Batuk Bhairav Temple in Varanasi, and it invokes all eight forms of Bhairav through worship, mantras and sacred hymns.
It opens with Gauri Ganesh pujan, followed by kalash pujan and Navagraha pujan to bring in blessings and balance planetary energies. Next comes Asth Bhairav Vishesh Dhyana Pujan, where Lord Bhairav is meditated upon and worshipped with sacred items. The Asth Bhairav mool mantra punascharan follows, and the puja closes with the Asth Bhairav paryan, asking for his blessings.
The puja is conducted by priests following Vedic tradition. It can be booked online if you cannot travel to Varanasi, or as an offline puja. MargKGB confirms what is included when you book.
