Baba Kina Ram Sthal (Varanasi)

India / Uttar Pradesh / Varanasi
 religion  Add category

Also known as the Kinaram Sthal (Baba Kina Ram's Samadhi, Krin Kund Baba Kina Ram Sthal), it has one of the most ancient histories anywhere!

Lord Buddha got his deeksha here, King Harishchandra was tested here and in 16th century it was chosen as the place for the Aghor Peeth established by Aghoracharya Baba Kina Ram.It has an unconventional feel about it with huge human skulls adorning the entrance gate.Inside there is a fire which has been burning for the past 400 years and is kept lit using the wood taken from the "shmashan ghats" of Kashi.

Its said to be the epicenter of Aghor thought stream in North India. There's a Kund in the premises(as can be seen in the imagery) which has medicinal/spiritual properties and can cure ailments.As with all aghor peeths,even here only the serious "saadhak" is encouraged and the non-serious ones are not paid attention to,if they at all dare to enter the premises,that is!
