Kaal Bhairav Mandir: The Kotwal of Kashi

Kaal Bhairav Mandir is dedicated to the fearsome form of Lord Shiva known as the "Kotwal of Kashi" (The Guard of Varanasi). It is said that without his permission, no one can stay in Kashi. He is the supreme authority who keeps the account of everyone's sins and deeds in the holy city.

Before you leave Varanasi, it is mandatory to visit here. Plan your exit route and timing with the Trilok App.
