Stuti & Sloka for the Temple

Experience the sanctity of Pishach Mochan Kund, a sacred site for the liberation of our ancestral deities. Performing Pind Daan at Kashi's Pishach Mochan Kund is essential for all devotees before embarking on their journey to Gaya Shradh. Pishach Mochan Teerth has been a beacon of solace for countless devotees, alleviating them from Pitra Dosh and various life troubles for many years.

Story of the Temple

There was a Brahmin by the name of ‘Pishach’ he used to only take Daan and never gave Daan to anybody. So what happened is after his death he went into ‘Pishach Yoni’. Desperate to get mukti he started praying to lord Brahma who instructed him to go to Kashi and pray to Kapardhiswar Mahadev, as he was the only one who could help him in attaining Mukti. Pishach sincerely offered his prayers to Kapardhishwar Mahadev on a daily basis and also took a dip in the kund near the temple before his prayers. Finally Kapardhiswar Mahadev, pleased with his devotion and sincere prayers, decided to free him from the Pishach Yoni. Mahadev instructed him to take a dip in the Kund after which he went from ‘Pishach Yoni’ to ‘Pitra Yoni’ and hence attained to mukti. The kund from that day came to be known as the Pischah Mochan Kund i.e place where even the worst of the people get free from their troubles. Maharishi Valmiki also offered his prayers around the Pishach Mochan kund hence this place also came to be known as the Vimalodak kund or Vimal Teerth.
