Kalabhairava Pooja is a revered Hindu ritual dedicated to Lord Kalabhairava, a fierce and powerful manifestation of Lord Shiva. Known as the guardian deity of time and the destroyer of evil, Kalabhairava is worshipped to seek protection, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles in one's life. The pooja involves chanting sacred mantras and offering flowers, fruits, and special bhog (prasad) to the deity. Devotees also perform the ritual with deep devotion and faith, often during the auspicious Ashtami tithi, which is considered highly significant for Kalabhairava worship. It is believed that performing this pooja helps to ward off negative energies, grants spiritual progress, and bestows blessings of health, wealth, and overall well-being.
