| The Bhairav temple where desires get fulfilled, evils vanish | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Nov 7: Situated at Chowk Chabutra in the heart of City of Temples is the pracheen Bhairav temple where Lord Bhairav exists in the form of a natural pindi.
The temple remained unattended for several years, but Mahant Romil Sharma started daily pooja and its cleaning over a decade and a half back.
Since then, an annual bhandara is performed here on the eve of Kaal Bhairav Ashtami.
The bhandara, which was started by Romil with few kilograms of rice and daal, has now attained the form of the biggest bhandara ofJammu.
Thousands of people from different parts of the state come here every year to participate in the annual function and seek the blessings of Lord Bhairav, the fifth rudra of Lord Shiva.
This year, pooja and havan would be performed at the temple on Kaal Bhairav Ashtami on November 18 followed by the bhandara on November 19.
On the bhandara day, Chowk Chabutra and Dhounthly Bazar are colourfully decorated and illuminated.
The adjoining Pacca Danga and Moti Bazar would also be decorated this year as the businessmen associations of the two markets have volunteered to do so.
Romil said the bad effects of planets Shani and Rahu in the Indian zodiac get nullified by offering prayers in the Bhairav temple.
Those, who are troubled by these planets, are usually advised to wear costly stones, especially when one is passing through bad times of one's life.
He said pooja of Bhairav at the temple is enough to get rid of one's problems.
Several years ago when repair work was going on in Dhounthly Bazar, the debris was dumped near the temple where the pindi of Lord Kaal Bhairav was. The labourers accidently threw debris on the pindi.
When the debris was thrown near the Rani Talab at Kachi Chawni, the pindi also got thrown into the pond by mistake. The same night, Kaal Bhairav appeared in the contractor's dream and asked him to restore the pindi at its original place at Chowk Chabutra.
Romil said the very next morning, the contractor searched out the pindi from the pond and restored it to its original place. He alsoconstructed a temple there later.
He said lighting an oil lamp at the house entrance on November 17, 18 and 19 this year would keep the evil effects of unseen forcesaway.
Romil called upon the people of Jammu, irrespective of their caste, colour and creed, to participate in the bhandara on November 19 and seek the blessings of the Almighty.
