SUMMARY: May Lord Bindumadhava, the most proficient God, whose kind and side-look alone renders the vast ocean of family and worldly life to be a mere droplet, preserve and protect me.

As mentioned earlier, the Temple of Bindumadhava is the main deity of Kashi. The name of the presiding deity of this temple has been derived from the name of a pond called Bindu Sarovar by the side of which this temple is located. As per a related legend attached to this presiding deity, Lord Hari was very much impressed by the penance done by a Muni called Bindu and

therefore this form of Lord Vishnu has been called as Sri Bindumadhava.

Sri Bindumadhava temple is close to Panchagange, which is near Harishchandra Ghat.

The name Bindumadhava finds mention in Skanda Purana.

The next episode will be dedicated to Lord Kashi Vishwanatha.
