Story of The Temple
Divine Tales and Sacred History
According to Skanda Purana, when Lord Brahma grew egoistic, Lord Shiva appeared as Kaal Bhairav and removed one of Brahma’s five heads to humble his pride. As a result, Kaal Bhairav carried the sin of Brahma Hatya and wandered till he reached Kashi, where his sin was absolved. Hence, Kashi became his eternal abode, and he was appointed the Kotwal (Protector) of the city.
It is believed that no one can stay in Kashi without the permission of Baba Kaal Bhairav.
