PILGRIMAGE CONTEXT
The Chappan Vinayak yatra
In the Kashi Khanda, seven rings of eight Ganesh forms guard sacred Kashi around Dhundhiraj. The traditional ring order organises the pilgrimage. For travel planning, use each recorded landmark because some stops are in villages and others sit within a single set of old-city lanes.
SKANDA PURANA
In the Kashi Khanda
The Dhundhi chapter groups the fifty-six forms in seven sets of eight. This stop belongs to ring 7 in the guide’s survey-based directory. Read the chapter for the names and sacred order, and use the modern landmark for the approach.
