Bhairon Temple

However, due to his good nature, he was cleared off from the consequences of all his sins by the Goddess during his final moments. This Baba was very fond of liquor, which is why even today, many people offer the same to the deity here. After offering these drinks to the Lord, the devotees can either take the remaining with them back home or give it off to the priests of the temple.
