Let us check out some interesting facts about this temple.
Women Are Allowed To Offer Worship At This Temple Even During Menstruation
The Ma Linga Bhairavi Temple is visited by both men and women, but only women are permitted to enter the inner sanctum and offer prayers to the Goddess Linga Bhairavi. Even while they are menstruating, female monks and devotees are permitted entry into the temple. This is Sadhguru's ideology. He intended for women to carry out pooja and other rites at the temple.
In many regions of the nation, menstruation is socially taboo. It is forbidden for menstruating girls and women to handle holy scriptures or give prayers, yet the one temple is leading by example.

About Goddess Linga Bhairavi
Sadhguru asserts that rhose who receive the Grace of Bhairavi should not worry about or be afraid of failing, poverty, or death. If humans only just obtain Bhairavi's Grace, they will have all that they value as well.
Linga Bhairavi, consecrated by Sadhguru through prana pratishtha, is the fullest expression of the Divine Feminine, all-pervasive and potent. Devi is both fierce and caring at the same time. She takes care of her followers, attending to their material, bodily, and most importantly, spiritual needs.
