Candanabharāṭeśvara (चन्दनभराटेश्वर) is the name of a Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva) that is associated with the Bhasmagaṅgā-tīrtha (a sacred bathing place). It represents the fiftieth of the sixty-four siddhaliṅgas mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these liṅgas (e.g., Candanabharāṭa-īśvara) has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.

The auspiscious time for bathing near the Candanabharāṭeśvara-liṅga at the Bhasmagaṅgā-tīrtha is mentioned as “caitra-kṛṣṇa-aṣṭamī” (latin: caitra-krishna-ashtami). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (snānadina).
