Skanda
Tirtha: Aghoroda
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrimage-seeking interlocutors (sages/devotees)
Scene: A compact Kāśī shrine-lane opening to a small sanctum where two polished black stone liṅgas stand side-by-side, garlanded; pilgrims offer bilva leaves and lamps under a canopy of bells.
Kāśī magnifies devotion: honoring its sacred liṅgas can yield merits praised as equal to great Vedic sacrifices.
Aghoroda in Kāśī, along with the twin liṅgas named Gargeśa and Damaneśa.
Reverence/worship of the liṅgas at Aghoroda is implied as the means to obtain exalted merit (Aśvamedha-like fruit).
