Bhairav Temple

Unmat Bhairav Mandir

Unmat Bhairav sits in a modest shrine immediately beside the better-known Batuk Bhairav Temple in Kamachha, within a compound decorated with older stone sculpture work.

The name 'Unmat' suggests a state of ecstatic intoxication or divine madness, one of several moods through which Bhairava is traditionally depicted across his eight or more recognised forms in Kashi.

Visitors already heading to the well-established Batuk Bhairav Temple — a regular stop for locals seeking protection for children — can easily add this adjoining shrine to the same visit, since the two sit within a shared compound.

As with most of these smaller Bhairav shrines, there's no separate entry process; a quick word with the temple's attendant priest is usually enough to be shown the murti.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same temple as Batuk Bhairav?

No — it's a separate, smaller shrine standing right beside the main Batuk Bhairav Temple within the same compound, dedicated to a distinct form of Bhairava.
