Temple Profile
History and Significance
History
- According to Chapters 45 and 70 of the Kashi Khand, Varahi Devi is one of the 64 Yoginis sent to Kashi who became captivated by the city's sanctity and remained as guardians. Her temple in Bengalitola is unique as the deity is subterranean and viewed through floor openings during morning darshan.
Significance
- Varahi Devi is a boar-headed Matrika deity who protects devotees from all dangers and nightmarish troubles. Due to intense Tantric energy, public darshan is permitted primarily between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM before the sanctum is closed. She is venerated as a powerful night protector of Kashi.
