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 Manikarnika chapter gives the riverfront setting behind the name Manikarni. The Vinayak chapter names the Ganesh form in its list. The guide’s modern approach uses the ashram in Manikarnika Gali.
