About the temple

Kaal Bhairav Mandir is one of Varanasi's oldest and most powerful Shiva temples, dedicated to Bhairava, the fierce guardian deity known as the Kotwal (protector) of Kashi. Devotees believe no one can enter, reside in, or leave Varanasi without his blessings. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
