Ashta Bhairav Yatra – Divine Guardians of Kashi

The Ashta Bhairav Yatra is a powerful 3-hour spiritual journey through the eight sacred Bhairav temples of Kashi, believed to guard the holy city from all directions. These fierce yet compassionate manifestations of Lord Kaal Bhairav, the protector of Kashi, hold immense spiritual significance. According to ancient scriptures, no yatra in Kashi is complete without first seeking the blessings and permission of Bhairav, who governs the gates of liberation in this eternal city.

This sacred circuit includes the darshan of Asitang, Bheeshan, Chand, Kapal, Krodhan, Ruru, Sanghar, and Unmat Bhairav temples, each radiating a unique aspect of divine energy and protection. Walking through these energy points dissolves unseen fears, removes inner blocks, and opens the devotee to divine transformation.

Spiritually, this yatra is a shield—protecting the seeker from negative influences, destructive tendencies, and emotional turbulence. It’s also believed to empower the devotee with success in critical life tasks, victory over enemies, and smooth legal and karmic resolutions.

This short but intense yatra is ideal for those beginning any other Kashi Yatra or sadhana, as it spiritually prepares and fortifies the seeker. Guided by experienced spiritual guides, this journey is not just a physical pilgrimage—but a reconnection with the divine guardian energy of Kashi.
