About
Sixth Day: Completing the Pilgrimage- The sixth day starts with taking bath in the Kapilahrda/Kund, its circumambulation and worshipping Vrishabhadhvajeshvara, followed by march towards Jvala Nrisimha. This is a small temple enshrining the image of burning Narasimha, standing behind the lingam and yoni. His lion-head is not very recognizable, nor the devotee Prahalada below his left hand; the two V-shaped lines behind him probably represent the split column out of which he marched forth. On a high raised mound close to the confluence of the Varuna river in the left side, is the isolated shrine of Java Vinayaka (Java means barley), of course not referred in the Kashi Rahasya. The barley-scattering ritual starts by offering barley to this form of Ganesha and concluded in the temple of Saptavarna Vinayaka, where pilgrims throw the rest of their barely as a symbolic gesture of a closing ceremony.
