 Kashi Khand, Chapter 100 states that devotees should undertake religious tour (Yatra) of several deities situated within the main area of Kashi. This Yatra is known as Antargrihi Yatra and should be undertaken daily.One such deity among the deities to be worshipped is Someshwar.  It is worth mentioning that Someshwar is symbolic of Somnath Jyotir Ling.

People who worship this deity will always be blessed with happiness and prosperity.

Many people undertake Dwadasa Jyotirlinga Yatra in Kashi (Dwadasa means twelve).  Someshwar represents Somnath of Saurashtra which is the first among the twelve jyotirlings.  Even otherwise, old timers say that devotees in Kashi, who cannot travel upto Somnath in Gujarat, can worship this Shiv Ling, Someshwar, in Kashi and they will derive the same amount of blessings.
