2,000 years old Tilbhandeshwar Mahadev Temple in Kashi (Varanasi) is famous for its unique, self-emerged (Swayambhu) Jyotirlinga, believed to grow by the size of a sesame seed (til) daily, a phenomenon documented since 1902. Located in Bhelupur/Bengali Tola, it’s an ancient temple where a thread tied around the Shivling at night breaks by morning, symbolizing its continuous expansion, making it a significant pilgrimage site, especially around Mahashivratri.
