It is dedicated to Kal Bhairav, the guardian deity of the city.〔 Located on the banks of the Shipra River, it is one of the most active temples in the city, visited by hundreds of devotees daily. Liquor is one of the offerings made to the temple deity.〔〔 == History == The present-day temple structure was built over the remains of an older temple.

However, only traces of these paintings are visible now.〔 The original temple is believed to have been built by an obscure king named Bhadrasen. It has been mentioned in the ''Avanti Khanda'' of the ''Skanda Purana''.〔〔 The present-day temple structure shows Maratha influence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Temple of Kalbhairava )〕 According to the local tradition, after the Maratha defeat in the Third Battle of Panipat (1761 CE), the Maratha general Mahadaji Shinde offered his pagri (turban) to the deity, praying for victory in his campaign to restore the Maratha rule in North India. After successfully resurrecting Maratha power, he carried out restoration of the temple. A replica of the temple has been established on the Bhuj-Mundra road in Gujarat.
