Address-only geo contract: The supplied numeric point is functionally indistinguishable from a Vishalakshi-area fallback and lacks independent place attribution. Address-based navigation is published; the exact map pin, elevation and coordinate-based astronomy are withheld.

The source presents Kalaratri as the seventh Navadurga form, Shubhankari and the destroyer of darkness. Fearsome iconography and auspicious meaning are retained as traditional descriptions.

The source connects the shrine with the Kashi Khand and narratives of Durgasur, Raktabeej, Shumbha and Nishumbha. Claims about spirits, planetary afflictions, siddhis or fear removal remain attributed and are not presented as operational remedies.

Editorial classification: Sacred narratives, miracle language, promised blessings, Shakti Peetha statements and ancient-age claims are presented as traditional or attributed claims, not independently verified facts.

The source calls the shrine ancient but provides no secure construction date. This guide does not convert that traditional age into a dated historical claim.

The source describes a compact dark-stone sanctum, pillared hall, stepped pyramidal roof and weathered Goddess motifs. The Dravidian label and acoustic claims remain source-described rather than independently surveyed.
