Varanasi Temples

When Goddess was fighting a fierce battle against Durgasur (Kindly refer Durga Devi), she released various forms of energy (called Shakti) from her body.  These Shakti Devis released intense energy in form of fire balls to fight Durgasur and his army. (Kashi Khand, Chapter 72).  Finally the battle was won.

Tripura Bhairavi

One of those Shaktis is  Tripura Bhairavi.  Devotees who worship this deity will attain success in their endeavours and they will gain  mental strength.  Out of more than 90 forms of Shaktis, only a few deities are present now.  Many of their temples or idols have ceased to be in existence and one or two of them are inside private houses where public worship is not allowed.

LOCATION OF TRIPURA BHAIRAVI

Tripura Bhairavi is located at D.5/24, Mir Ghat. Devotees may approach this place from Dasaswamedh Vishwanath Gully and take the first right turn. This is a famous place.  This temple also houses Tripureshwar Shiv Ling (in the vicinity of Rudreshwar) which finds mention in Kashi Khand, Chapter 69. Devotees may worship these two lings also.
