PILGRIMAGE CONTEXT
Madhava
Madhava is a name of Vishnu. In the Kashi Khanda, Bindu Madhava describes to Agnibindu forms of Vishnu associated with particular tirthas, or sacred sites. Their names may preserve a connection to a ghat, well or old bathing place, while the present worship site can be inside a different host shrine.
