Kilkari Baba Bhairav Nath Mandir (Bhairon Mandir)

Bhairon Temple, also known as Sri Kilkari Bhairon Temple, is an age-old religious spot located close to Delhi’s famous Old Fort. Legend has it that the temple was constructed by the Pandavas, the mythological brothers from the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. As per another popular belief, Bheema, the second of the Pandava brothers, attained siddhi (spiritual power) in this temple. The temple is unique as it permits devotees to offer alcohol to Bhairon (the presiding deity), a manifestation of the Hindu god Shiva.

Due to its antiquity, the Bhairon Temple in Delhi is regarded as an important part of the national capital’s erstwhile heritage. Thousands of tourists visit the temple every year, more so, on Sundays. It is a belief held close to the hear by the devout Hindus that anyone who performs a special worship of Goddess Durga or any of her divine manifestations, must visit the Bhairon Temple for giving a final touch of completion to the worship. Therefore, people who visit the far-flung shrines of the Goddess, or observe special vows to please her, often visit the Bhairon temple in New Delhi.

The temple has been constructed totally by the standards of North Indian architecture. White marble is used through and through inside the temple to bestow a classic look to it. Even the idols of the holy deities worshipped in the shrine are made of marble. The presiding deity of the shrine, Bhairon Maharaj, is actually a stone image with prominent eyes. It is offered liquor, fruits, sweets, flowers and coconut by the visitors. The shrine is divided into two parts, the first being the Doodhiya Bhairon Temple (where milk is offered) and the second being the Kilkari Bhairon Temple (where alcohol is offered). It is not mandatory, however, to worship Bhairon with liquor. It depends on the nature of faith of a person whether he/she wishes to offer liquor or milk. Inside the temple, bottles of liquor offered by pilgrims are emptied in large cauldrons. Visitors who want to offer alcohol within the premises are advised to carry it beforehand, as there are no shops selling liquor around the temple. Of all the Hindu temples, Bhairon temple is the only place of worship where the devotees offer liquor of different varieties to the deity, which is also distributed as a sacred prasad among the pilgrims. In Tamil, Bhairon or Bhairava is called Vairavar, where is regarded as the Grama Devta or the deity who shields the villagers from evil and other devouts from all directions. Devout Hindus also seek refuge at the feet of Bhairon to avoid the malefic effects of evil spirits and mischievous planets like Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. He is also worshipped as a guardian deity of treasures. The Bhairav Temple lies in the backyard of Purana Qila, the castle of the Pandavas. It is said that Bheem, one of the Pandavas, used to worship here & get Siddhis (psychic powers).
