Temple Deity

The word ‘Phullora’ literally means ‘blooming’ or ‘in bloom’. The name is in praise of Mata Sati’s lips that are said to resemble blooming lotuses; that’s how exquisitely beautiful she was. Beside the temple of Phullora is the temple of the Bhairav Vishvesh who was appointed by Lord Shiva to protect the lips of his beloved wife. Vishvesh is said to be none other than a manifestation of Shiva. As Bhairavs were appointed to protect, they represent the coarser, stronger side of Shiva.
