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.
