Lord Shiva was describing the
various sacred Teerths (Ponds), Koops (Wells) and places of worship in
Kashi. Lord Shiva described such places with pleasure (Kashi Khand,
Chapter 97).
In the vicinity of Kaleshwar is the
Mrityunjayeshwar. This Ling is capable of keeping untimely death away from
devotees. In the vicinity of the Ling is Kalodak Koop (Well). The water
from the well is capable of curing all diseases.
Mrityunjayeshwar is also referred to
as Apa Mrityu Hareshwar in Kashi Khand (the Lord who wards off untimely death).

TYPES OF POOJA
The temple is open from 04.00 a.m.
to 12.00 midnight. The doors of the sanctum sanctorum may remain closed
at certain times on account of Shringar (Decoration) etc. There are three
aarties at 05.30 a.m. in the morning, 6.30 p.m. and in the night.
As the name implies, Mrityu is
death, Jay is victory. Therefore, the combination may be taken as victory
over death.
People who are afflicted with fatal
planetary combinations in their horoscope, indicating untimely death, perform
Maha Mrityunjay Jap at this place and many devotees have succeeded in their
endeavours.
