Bhairavnath Temple, Jammu And Kashmir

Bhairavnath Temple, Jammu And Kashmir

Located 3 km from the holy caves of Vaishno Devi, Bhairavnath Temple is dedicated to Saint turned demon, Baba Bhairavnath. It is believed that the goddess herself proclaimed that no pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi will be complete without visiting Bhairav Temple. The temple is believed to be built in the same spot where he took his last breath. The Temple area has been improved by fixing marble tiles and slabs along the pre-ambulation of the temple. Situated in the Bhairav Ghati, the route to the temple is treacherous. The picturesque landscapes surround the temple, and the serenity makes the journey worthwhile.

History

According to the legend, Kaal Bhairav (Baba Bhairavnath) was killed by Maa Vaishnodevi, and during his last breath, he repented his sins. The goddess forgave him and said that no pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi will be complete without visiting the Bhairav Temple.
