In the fast pace of life, many forget the old traditions that quietly hold powerful energies. One such sacred ritual is the Bhairavar Ashtami Vilakku Pooja, a simple yet deeply spiritual offering of ghee lamps on the 8th lunar day (Ashtami), a day especially sacred to Lord Bhairavar.

This ritual, done with pure intention and devotion, helps remove darkness, both outer and inner from our lives.

What Is Ashtami and Why Is It Important for Bhairavar?

Ashtami comes twice every month, on the 8th day after Full Moon (Valarpirai Ashtami) and after New Moon (Theipirai Ashtami). Both are powerful days to connect with Kala Bhairavar, the fierce form of Shiva who governs time and protects devotees from fear, evil forces, and delays.

On Ashtami, Bhairavar is most active and easily pleased. The Bhavishya Purana and other sacred texts mention that offering a lamp to Bhairavar on this day brings blessings in career, health, and protection.
