Vṛddhakāleśvara (वृद्धकालेश्वर) is the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) situated at Vārāṇasī, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Vārāṇasī has remained a place dear to Śiva. It is supposed to be a place of mokṣa for all living creatures. There are many sacred places and innumerable liṅgas which are even unknown to Brahmā, so says the Saurapurāṇa. [...] Vṛddhakāleśvara is that holy place where Śiva is said to have lived with Umā always. By the visit to Vṛddhakāleśvara, a person is said to have visited all the divine liṅgas in the world.
