"INDIA'S FIRST BIGGEST TEMPLE FOR LORD SWARNA KARSHANA BAIRAVAR" Swearna Karshana Bairava is the God who is the protector of Benares. He is supposed to be the fear some aspect of Lord Shiva. Once Brahma insulted Lord Shiva and his fifth head teasingly laughed at Lord Shiva. From Lord Shiva came out the Swearna Karshana Bairava (Black Bairava) who tore off the fifth head of Lord Brahma. On the entreaties of Lord Vishnu, Shiva pardoned Lord Brahma. But the sin (in the form of a lady) of beheading Lord Brahma followed Kalabairava everywhere. Also the head of Brahma stuck to him. To keep away the sin and punishment which were chasing him, Swearna Karshana Bairava entered the city of Benares. The sin could not enter the city. Swearna Karshana Bairava was made as the Kotwal of the city of Benares. Swearna Karshana Bairava rides on a dog. A pilgrimage to Kasi (Benares) is not supposed to be complete without visiting the temple of Kalabairava.

Another story identifies Swearna Karshana Bairava with Veerabhadra who cut off the head of Daksha the father of Sathi Devi, when he insulted Lord Shiva. Sathi's body was cut into pieces and strewn all over India giving rise to Shakthi Peetas. Outside every Shakthi Peeta is the temple for Bairava. There is also another interpretation. He is the form of Shiva who controls the growth and management of time. Whoever wants to spend, manage or ration their time in a proper manner should pray him. He is also considered as the guardian of temples of Lord Shiva. After locking the doors of the temple of Lord Shiva, the keys are ceremonially offered to Bairava and taken back in most of the Shiva temples. This very musical story of Lord Swearna Karshana Bairava is supposed to be written by Adi Sankara Bhagawt Pada. Even today this ashtakam is recited by the priests of the temple ofSwearna Karshana Bairavain Benares before blessing the devotee with a tap by the cane of Lord Swearna Karshana Bairava.
