Families come here to offer pind daan and tripindi shraddha so that their ancestors, above all those who died untimely deaths, may find peace. The shrines of Kapardishwar Mahadev and Kapardi Vinayak stand on its bank. In Pitru Paksha (September–October) the steps fill: on one day in 2025 more than 40,000 people performed shraddha here.
The Kashi Khand tells of a brahmin who had become a pishacha, a restless spirit, through his past deeds. A sage told him to bathe in Vimal Tirtha and worship Kapardishwar; he was released, and the tank has been called Pishach Mochan, 'release of the pishacha', ever since.
