Home / Temples / Vimal Teerth (Pisachmochan Talab)
Sacred TankPisachmochan translates to "liberation from troubled spirits," and this sacred tank in southern Varanasi has long been associated with rites meant to bring peace to departed souls believed to be stuck in a restless state.
Families performing specific rituals for a relative's peaceful passage sometimes come here specifically for that purpose, distinct from the more general final rites carried out at the main cremation ghats along the river.
The tank itself, like Lolark Kund, is a sunken, stepped structure rather than a riverside temple, giving it a quieter, more contained atmosphere than the open ghats.
It's a less-visited stop for casual tourists, more meaningful to those specifically here for its particular ritual purpose — worth knowing about if a priest or pandit mentions it as part of a planned ceremony.
