It is especially known for relief from Pret Yoni, Pitru Dosha, and Brahma Dosha. Rituals such as Tripindi Shraddha, Narayan Bali, Pind Daan, and Tarpan are performed here for ancestral peace.

Pishach Mochan Kund in Varanasi is a highly sacred pilgrimage site associated with liberation from Pret Yoni (spirit state), Pitru Dosha, Brahminical karmic afflictions, and untimely death.

Varanasi (Kashi) is known as the city of liberation, where Lord Shiva grants moksha through the Tarak Mantra. However, for souls who suffer unnatural or untimely death outside Kashi, Pishach Mochan Kund holds special importance for spiritual peace and release. It is particularly known as a place where wandering or unsettled souls are believed to attain liberation.

 Historical & Scriptural Background

According to the Kashi Khand and Garuda Purana, this sacred site was formerly known as Vimal Tirtha or Vimalodaka Tirtha, and is believed to have existed even before the descent of the Ganga to Earth.

It is said that Kapardi, a great devotee of Lord Shiva, established this kund. Through his intense penance, Lord Kapardeeshwar Mahadev manifested here.

Legend narrates that Sage Valmiki once performed penance at this site. A Brahmin soul trapped in Pret Yoni approached him seeking liberation. As guided by Sage Valmiki, the soul bathed in this kund and worshipped Kapardeeshwar Mahadev, thereby attaining freedom from the spirit state. Since then, this place became known as “Pishach Mochan” (Liberator from spirit bondage).

 Spiritual Significance

Pishach Mochan Kund holds a unique place in Sanatan Dharma. It is considered one of the rare sacred sites where Tripindi Shraddha is performed in a complete and traditional manner.

After Gaya, it is regarded as one of the most important destinations for ancestral rites. The Garuda Purana describes the significance of rituals performed here, especially during Pitru Paksha when thousands of devotees visit to perform Shraddha, Tarpan, and ancestral ceremonies.

 The Sacred Peepal Tree

Near the kund stands a well-known Peepal tree associated with local beliefs. According to tradition, unsettled souls are symbolically tied here using coins and nails to bring them peace. Photographs of individuals who died untimely deaths are also seen nearby.

Although this practice is not strictly scriptural, it has continued for centuries as a local devotional belief.
