Bhairavaparvata Shakti Peetha

Bhairav Parvat Mahakali Shakti Peeth is a regional goddess shrine in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, associated with the sacred landscape around Bhairavgarh and the Kshipra River. Ujjain is an ancient centre of Shaiva, Shakta, Tantric and astronomical traditions, with Mahakaleshwar, Kal Bhairav, Harsiddhi and Gadkalika among its principal temples. Public documentation about the exact history, architecture and administration of the modern Bhairav Parvat shrine is limited, so the entry should focus on its textual association rather than unsupported structural claims.

The Peetha is named Bhairavaparvata. Source lists variously associate it with Sati’s upper lip, urdhvoshtha; the lip generally, oshtha; or the mouth, tunda. The goddess is Avanti and Bhairava is Lambakarna, with Namrakarna occurring as a variant. These anatomical and deity-name differences represent genuine textual variation and should remain visible. The Ujjain location is traditional, but the precise relationship between the classical Peetha and a particular modern shrine is not described uniformly.

Navratri brings special worship of Mahakali and increased pilgrimage. Kal Bhairav Ashtami is important within Ujjain’s wider Bhairava tradition, although schedules at this exact temple require local confirmation. Pilgrims may combine the site with Kal Bhairav, Harsiddhi, Mahakaleshwar and Gadkalika. Its significance is strongest as part of Ujjain’s interconnected Shakta and Bhairava geography.
