Bhrigu Keshav is a manifestation of Vishnu. This
manifestation is associated with Sage Bhrigu. Legend has it that Sage Bhrigu
had once kicked on the chest of Vishnu to wake him up in the Vaikunta. Vishnu
was not at all angry with his Bhakta, Sage Bhrigu. The murti of Bhrigu Keshav is
associated with Sage Bhrigu’s Bhakti for Vishnu.
The murti of Bhrigu Keshav has four hands and is black in
color. The murti holds chakra, gada, shankh and lotus.
In the Bhrigu Keshav form, Vishnu is always alert and he
guards the universe.
One of the important temples dedicated to Bhrigu Keshav is
located in Varanasi.
The popular belief is that by worshiping this form of Vishnu one will be blessed
with prosperity.
