Varanasi Temples

On a request by Goddess Parvaty, Lord Shiva  described various Teerths (sacred ponds/lakes) and deities in Kashi. Lord Shiva told her all Lings are having  the divine powers of Teerths.

Ashadeshwar

Lord Shiva described the power of Ashadeshwar Ling.  A devotee worshipping this Ling is cleansed of all his sins. (Kashi Khand 97).

Ashadeshwar temple is a stand alone temple and well maintained.  A multitude of devotees visit this temple.  While the ancient Ling (Kashi Khand) is available towards the back side of the temple, within the last century some noble person has installed a Ling within the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.  Devotees worship both the Lings.

The temple is located at K.63/53, Kashipura. People can travel almost upto this place by rickshaw through a place called Lohatia.
