PILGRIMAGE CONTEXT
Kshetra and Yogini shrines
Kshetra means a sacred area. The Kashi Khanda describes its protection through groups of Shaktis distributed across the city. Singh’s inventory records local identifications using landmarks such as wells, host temples and walls. The survey address helps distinguish the particular image from the main deity of the precinct.
