Bhutesvara Temple
A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma
This Siva-linga is the dik-pala protector of the western part of Mathura. Bhutesvara was worshiped by Kamsa according to the Skanda Purana. Bhutesvara means the “Lord of the ghost.” Next to this temple, about 5m (15 ft) away, is a temple dedicated to Patalesvari-devi, the wife of Lord Bhutesvara. This temple is down some stairs. To see the deity in this temple you may need a flashlight (a torch), as there is no light in this temple and it is very dark. This temple of Patalesvari is one of the four main Devi temples in Braja Mandala. The other three are: Manasi Devi at Manasi Ganga in the town of Govardhana, Yoga Maya in Vrindavana and Vrinda Devi in Kamyavana.
