Brahma Kapal of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand – This is the place where Lord Shiva attained salvation after committing the Brahma sin, making it a must-visit site during your holy journey to Badrinath Dham.
Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is considered extremely important not only for humans but for gods as well. Situated within this legendary region is the place where Lord Shiva was liberated from the sin of Brahma Hatya (killing Brahma). The practice of offering salvation to ancestors at this place is believed to yield eight times more than the expected results. Brahma Kapal is situated inside the holy Dham of Badrinath and is the location where Lord Shiva was freed from the sin of Brahma Hatya. It is widely believed that performing the ritual of Pind Daan here will free the souls of your ancestors from hell. Compared to the pilgrimage at Gaya, performing Pind Daan at Brahma Kapal is said to have eight times the positive result.
Not just Lord Shiva, but the Pandava brothers are also believed to have attained freedom from the sin of committing Brahma Hatya at this place. This site is also mentioned in the holy Vedas and Puranas. Here is an interesting story related to this place:
This holy site is also associated with the origin of the entire universe. It is believed that when Brahma approached his daughter Prithvi with wrong intentions, Lord Shiva cut off one of his heads using his Trishul. Brahma’s head got stuck in Shiva’s Trishul, and Lord Shiva then became sinful. In order to rid himself of this sin, Lord Shiva descended to the earthly realm to perform penance. Lord Shiva arrived at the current location of Brahma Kapal, where he separated Brahma’s head from his Trishul.
This place was also visited by the Pandava brothers, who had killed their own kin during the war of Mahabharata. In order to rid themselves of the sin of killing their kin, the Pandava brothers journeyed to heaven and stopped here to offer prayers to the souls of their departed ancestors. As instructed by Lord Krishna, the Pandavas also performed the ritual of Shradh to attain salvation for their ancestors and for those who lost their lives in the battlefield. It is said that performing deep penance here will grant moksha (salvation) to your ancestors, freeing them from the karmic cycle of birth and rebirth.
