About
Close to the Trilocana Ghat—, the lingam representing the image of Shiva having three eyes, lies in the silver vessel. Mythologically, this lingam symbolizes the three eyes of Shiva (Kashi Khanda, 33.168). Says the Kashi Khanda (75.32), by worshipping even once the great Trilocana Lingam, one is rid of all the sins acquired in the course of hundreds of births. This lingam represents the original image of the Viraja (Gujarat). There are many images in the compound of this temple; the notables include Varunasi Devi, Nakatreshvara, Valmikeshvara, Aruna Aditya, Hanuman, etc. in the adjacent house, there is a sacred well, Padodaka Kupa representing Pilippila Tirtha. The water from this sacred well is offered to the Trilocana Shiva.
