Vikrant Bhairavji is one of the eight Bhairavjis (Ashta Bhairavji) mentioned in the Skanda Purana, who are believed to reside in Ujjain. Vikrant Bhairavji is the second among them.

The Skanda Purana, in the 'Awantya Khanda' under Bhairav Tirtha, describes that Bhairav resides on the northern bank of the Shipra River. His temple is situated near a crematorium known as Aukhaleshwar, which signifies a place where the souls of the departed attain liberation, meaning they do not undergo rebirth after cremation and instead achieve salvation or Nirvana.
