வடகிழக்கில் சாலகடங்கடத்தில் ‘திரிமுக’ எனும் விநாயகர் வீற்றிருக்கிறார்—குரங்கு, சிங்கம், யானை முகங்களுடன். அவர் காசியின் அச்சத்தை எப்போதும் நீக்குவாராக.

Tirtha: Śālakaṭaṃkaṭa Trimukha Vighneśa
Type: kshetra
Scene: Trimukha Vināyaka in the north-east quarter: a single body with three faces—kapi (monkey), siṃha (lion), and gaja (elephant)—radiating protective power; frightened pilgrims regain composure as a dark ‘bhaya’ mist disperses.
Kāśī’s Vināyakas are portrayed as living guardians; Trimukha is invoked as a steady remover of fear.
Śālakaṭaṃkaṭa in the north-east quarter of Kāśī’s sacred landscape.
Implicit worship/approach of Vighneśa; the verse mainly identifies the form and location rather than detailing a procedure.
