One of the ancient temples of Lord Shiva, that can be found in
Varanasi is Kal Bhairav Temple. This temple has a strong link with the
history and culture of the city. Kal Bhairav Avatar is the fiercest form
of Lord Shiva. The deity is portrayed as wearing garlands made with
human skulls. It is said that death itself is afraid of this form of
Lord Shiva. It is said that Kal bhairav decides who stays in Varanasi
and who should not. People of Varanasi get permission from the deity
before leaving the town for any reason. Anyone visiting Varanasi should
visit the temple first and get permission to enter into Varanasi,
according to folklore. Where Kaal Bhairav Temple is located? The temple
is located in Visheshar Ganj in Varanasi. Auto, rickshaw, and others
easily access the temple. It is just 10 minutes away from the Kashi
Vishwanath temple. Best Time to Visit Kal Bhairav Temple? The
temple is open from 5 in the morning until 1:30 pm and, from 4:30 pm
until 9:30 pm. Eight days after full moon day in November is an
auspicious day and you can find numerous rituals in the temple. Sunday
and Tuesdays are considered important days for the deity. Annakut (the
fourth day from Diwali) and shringar are other important festivals in
the temple.
What to see in Kal Bhairav Temple?
The temple entrance is narrow and one can see the deity from the
entrance. People offer sesame oil and flowers to the deity but it is not
mandatory. There are shops outside the temple to buy flowers and other
items. Unlike many other temples, alcohol is also offered to God. One
entry to the inner sanctum of the temple is from the backside of the
temple and only priests can enter. The ferocious God is seen with his
celestial vehicle, dog. As you walk around the temple, you will find
holy men seated with a fan made with a peacock feather. They will wave
it on the pilgrims to wade off sins and bless them.

Vishnu, and Lord Brahma are the holy trinity of Gods in Hinduism. Once,
Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu got into a fight regarding who is the
supreme among all three. All the religious text pronounced Lord Shiva as
the supreme power. Both Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma laughed at this
conclusion. Shiva got angry and went into a rage that created a
ferocious light.
Lord Vishnu surrendered but Lord Brahma continued to stare at the
light, which caused one of his heads to burn out. The light that was
created by Lord Shiva became a being called as Kal. Kal walked around
the world with the head of Brahma in his hand. When he entered Kashi,
the head dropped to the ground and his sins washed away. Kal stayed back
in Varanasi. The exact date of construction of the temple is not known.
With the help of literature, it is assumed that the present structure
of the temple was of the 17th century. Shop and eat Souvenir shops can be found outside
the temple. You can find a few street shops that sell delicacies. More
shops come up during auspicious occasions.

More than 9,000 people are calling for a proposed mural depicting the
New Zealand Prime Minister hugging a Muslim woman to be scrapped.
More than $11,000 has been raised through a GoFundMe campaign for the 23-metre-high mural of Jacinda Ardern.
Renowned street artist Loretta Lizzio had offered to donate her time
"to paint an image of unity, an image of hope" on the Tinning Street
silos, which is in the north of Melbourne.
But the idea to promote the message of peace following the
Christchurch massacre which left 50 people dead has been met with some
opposition.
About 9,300 people have signed a change.org petition in a bid to halt the project.
"Its (sic) not wanted in Australia. Nothing to do with Australia," one woman commented on the petition.
The GoFundMe page for the mural raised the $11,000 needed to paint it in just one day.

"Jacinda Ardern led the world after the shootings. Her complete
embrace of the Islamic community, and in fact of all New Zealanders as
part of a whole that can never be divided by hate, has been both
beautiful and powerful to witness," the fundraising page said.
"We want this message, this moment in time, remembered. We want to learn from it, we want it to hold us up, to strengthen us.
"We want everyone to know we are them, that they are us and, that we are, and always will be, stronger together."
Despite some objecting to the project, the mural is expected to be completed by May 30.
