Sri Kilkari Baba Bhaironath Ji Pandav Kalin Mandir near Purana Quila – I planned to visit.

I read that this temple has been in existence since the time of the Mahabharat and liquor is offered here to the deity.

Alighted at Supreme Court (Pragati Maidan) metro station and hired an auto for Rs. 50 to reach Sri Kilkari Baba Bhaironath Ji Pandav Kalin Mandir also known as Bhairav Mandir.

Offered prayers and had talks with Mahant Shri Ganganath Ji to know the history of Sri Kilkari Baba Bhaironath Ji Pandav Kalin Mandir.

Bhairav has 52 forms and is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Here in this temple, it is in Kilkari Bhairav.

Pandav‘s brother Bhim brought Bhairav from Kashi (Varanasi) here because demons had created havoc in-around the area.

Bhairav did kilkari (scream/roar) here thus, all demons ran away, and Bhairav was known as Kilkari Bhairav.

Sunday is considered the auspicious day for Kilkari Bhairav. Devotees offer hard liquor as well as milk to Baba Bhairav.

In tantra puja, there is a provision for liquor.

Bhairav temple is one of the few temples in India where devotees offer alcohol to the deity which is later returned to distribute as holy Prasad (a devotional offering made to a God) among devotees and the poor.

Unique rituals. This temple is one of the fine examples of Incredible India.

Thank you Ganganath Ji for narrating history in short. Donation offered.

Note: The main temple was closed due to the current pandemic.

Timings: 5 am till 8 pm (7 days open).

And not to forget to have Urad Dal Kachori (2 pcs. for Rs. 20) available on Saturday and Sunday at a shop inside the temple premises – 40 years old shop. It opens at 5:30 am and runs till late evening hours.

While returning I decided to catch the metro from Indraprastha metro station.

I hired an auto and from Bhairav temple till Indraprastha metro station, I paid Rs. 40.

My cousin’s brother suggested if you are fond of Paranthas, do visit Moolchand Parantha in South Delhi.

Paranthas are a stuffed version of Indian flatbread, mostly served with pickles & hot tea.

Finally, I alighted at Moolchand metro station in the late afternoon hours.

Moolchand Parantha is located just below the Moochand metro station.

46 years old outlet i.e., since 1975.

Timings: 7 am till 10 pm (due to the current pandemic situation). Otherwise, 7 am till 12 in the night (7 days open).

The menu with rates in Rs. is displayed neatly.

Wow! mouth-watering, lip-smacking, so many different amazing types of paranthas at one outlet.

The price of paranthas starts from Rs. 40 to maximum Rs. 170.

Which one to have – Veg. or Non-Veg.? – a million-dollar question.

Finally, a decision – Chilli Garlic Aloo Parantha (Rs. 100) with Kulhad Chai (Rs. 30) and Mineral Water for Rs. 20.

Coupon purchased and had Chilli Garlic Aloo Parantha in about 5-7 mins. Kulhad Chai counter is separate.

The stuffing of Chilli, Garlic and Aloo was amazing.

The Parantha was crispy, sumptuous, and good enough to keep the stomach full till night.

Recommended at least once. It’s worth a try.

They also have Main Course (Veg. & Non-Veg.) such as Rajma, Dal Makhani, Matar Paneer, Egg Curry, Chicken Curry (Qtr.) and Thali Special, Special Raita, Rice Combination (Veg.), Rice Combination (Non-Veg.), Special Lassi, Kheer, Gulab Jamun, Pav Bhaji, Plain Dosa, Masala Dosa, Idli Sambhar, Vada Sambhar, Veg.

I suggest, if you are also fond of Paranthas, do visit Moolchand Parantha in Delhi at least once.

Thanks to my cousin brother for enhancing my knowledge.
