Kaal Bhairav Path Mantra And Havan In Varanasi

About this puja

An anushthan to Lord Kaal Bhairav, the guardian of Kashi, with path, mantra jaap and havan, held in Varanasi.

This anushthan honours Lord Kaal Bhairav, a fierce and protecting form of Lord Shiva. He is regarded as the Kotwal (guardian) of Kashi, and tradition says every devotee visiting Kashi should seek his blessings. It brings together the Kaal Bhairav Paath, the Kaal Bhairav Mantra and a havan. The online puja is held at Shree Durga Mata Mandir, Durgakund, and the offline puja at Shri Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, both in Varanasi. Devotees traditionally choose it to seek courage, protection from fear and enemies, peace of mind and success in career, business or studies. Online participation is also possible.
