Sacred History & Legend

Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most celebrated Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the sacred city of Varanasi on the western bank of holy Ganga. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shiva temples. The temple has been referred to in Hindu scriptures for centuries and has stood through countless civilizational eras. The main deity is known by the names Shri Vishwanath and Vishveshvara, meaning Ruler of the Universe. The magnificent Kashi Vishwanath Corridor inaugurated recently has transformed the sacred pilgrimage, creating a grand, accessible direct pathway from the Lalita Ghat on Ganga river right into the golden sanctum sanctorum. Every drop of donation here goes into sustaining thousands of sadhus, preserving Vedic traditions, and offering sacred Annadanam to pilgrims from around the globe.

Architectural Highlights

The temple features magnificent golden spires (shikhara) made with over a ton of pure gold. The complex is constructed in authentic Nagara-style architecture with intricate stone carving, grand courtyards, and direct marble ghat connectivity.
