Best Place of worships in India

Shirdi (pronunciationⓘ; also known as Sainagar) is a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is located in the Rahata taluka of Ahmednagar District. It is accessible via the Ahmednagar–Malegaon State Highway No.10, approximately 83 km (52 mi) from Ahmednagar and 15 km (9.3 mi) from Kopargaon. It is located 185 km (115 mi) east of the Western Seashore line (the Ahmednagar–Manmad road), a very busy route.
Shirdi is famously known as the home of the late 19th century saint Shri Sai Baba.[1] The Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust located in Shirdi is one of the richest temple organisations.[2] One of the most famous pilgrim centres of India, Shirdi is where Shri Sai Baba, the saint known for his divine powers, lived and preached for over five decades. Samadhi Temple, where he lived, has a room that depicts articles and things used by Shri Sai during his lifetime, and is therefore quite significant for his disciples, who follow his teachings and rever him till date. The temple also houses his mortal remains.

Every day, over 60,000 tourists and devotees from all faiths and religions throng to the temple, and this number increases during festive seasons. The temple opens at 4:45 am[3] and one has to wait in a queue to get a glimpse of the idol and worship him. Other places related to the life of Shri Sai in Shirdi include Dwarkamai Mandir, Chavadi and Gurusthan.

Dwarkamai Mandir, where Baba lived, with a temple inside, is the only one of its kind and importance in India. Another interesting aspect of the dwarkamai mandir is that the dhuni, or holy fire that Sai Baba lit here has been always kept burning to this day. The ash that falls from the dhuni called Udi is considered to have healing powers.

Baba used to spend a lot of time sitting under the Neem tree, and the amazing thing is that the leaves of this neem tree is sweet:This is considered to be one of the greatest miracles of Baba. And There is a Gurusthan under the Neem tree where, according to Baba, the Samadhi of his own guru is located and Where Baba was found during his Balyog or Yuva avastha.This place is considered to be a very important because of this reason. [4]

Dakshineswar Kali Temple or Dakshineswar Kalibari is a Hindu navaratna temple in Dakshineswar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Situated on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, the presiding deity of the temple is Bhavatarini, a form of Parashakti Adya Kali, otherwise known as Adishakti Kalika.[1] The temple was built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni, a Zamindar, philanthropist and a devotee of Kali Maa. The temple is known for its association with Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada Devi, mystics of 19th century Bengal.[2][3]
The main temple was inspired by Navaratna style Radhakanta temple in Tollygunge, built by Babu Ramnath Mondal of Bawali Raj family .[4][5][6][7] The temple compound, apart from the nine-spired main temple, contains a large courtyard surrounding the temple, with rooms along the boundary walls. There are twelve shrines dedicated to Shiva, Kali's consort, along the riverfront, a temple to Radha–Krishna, a bathing ghat on the river, a shrine dedicated to Rani Rashmoni. 'Nahabat', the chamber in the northwestern corner just beyond the last of the Shiva temples, is where Ramakrishna and Maa Sarada spent a considerable part of their lives.[2][8]
The Dakshineswar Kali Temple was founded around the middle of the 19th century by Rani Rashmoni.[9] Rani Rashmoni was a Mahishya by caste[10] and was well known for her philanthropic activities. In the year 1847, Rashmoni prepared to go upon a long pilgrimage to the sacred Hindu city of Kashi to express her devotions to the Divine Mother. Rani was to travel in twenty-four boats, carrying relatives, servants, and supplies.[8] According to traditional accounts, the night before the pilgrimage began, Rashmoni had a vision of the Divine Mother goddess Kali in a dream and reportedly said,[11]

There is no need to go to Banaras. Install my statue in a beautiful temple on the banks of the Ganges river and arrange for my worship there. Then I shall manifest myself in the image and accept worship at that place.

Profoundly affected by the dream, Rani immediately looked for and purchased a 30,000-acre plot in the village of Dakshineswar. The large temple complex was built between 1847 and 1855. The 20-acre (81,000 m2) plot was bought from an Englishman, Jake Hastie, and was then popularly known as Saheban Bagicha.[12] Partly old Muslim burial ground shaped like a tortoise, considered befitting for the worship of Shakti according to Tantra traditions, it took eight years and nine hundred thousand rupees to complete the construction. The idol of Goddess Kali was installed on the Snana Yatra day on 31 May 1855 amid festivities at the temple formerly known as Sri Sri Jagadishwari Kali, with Ramkumar Chhattopadhyay as the head priest. Soon his younger brother Gadai or Gadadhar (later known as Ramakrishna) moved in and so did his nephew Hriday to assist him.[1][2][3][8][13] On 31 May 1855 more than 1 lakh (one hundred thousand) Brahmins were invited from different parts of the country to grace the auspicious occasion. The next year, Ramkumar Chattopadhyay died, and the position was given to Ramakrishna. His wife, Sarada Devi, stayed in the south side of the Nahabat (music room) in a small room on the ground floor, which is now a shrine dedicated to her.[14] Ramakrishna was responsible for bringing much in the way of both fame and pilgrims to the temple.[15]

Rani Rashmoni lived for only five years and nine months after the inauguration of the temple. She fell seriously ill in 1861. Realizing that her death was near, she decided to hand over the property she had purchased in Dinajpur (now in Bangladesh) as a legacy for the maintenance of the temple to the temple trust. She accomplished her task on 18 February 1861 and died on the next day.[2] After her death, her sons-in-law took to celebrating Durga Puja in their respective premises.

The Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, India, is a marvel of ancient architecture. Built in the 13th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a testament to the skill and creativity of its builders. The temple's intricate carvings depict mythological stories and daily life, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of that era. The main sanctum, shaped like a colossal chariot with intricately carved wheels, adds a unique and awe-inspiring touch to the site. However, erosion and weathering have taken a toll on the structure. Despite the challenges, the Konark Sun Temple remains a must-visit destination for history and architecture enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into India's glorious past.

The temple had been demolished several times, most recently by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who constructed the Gyanvapi Mosque on its site. The current structure was built on an adjacent site by the Maratha ruler Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore in 1780
Since 1983, the temple has been managed by a board of trustees set up by the government of Uttar Pradesh.

Located on the banks of the holy Ganges, Varanasi is regarded among the holiest of the Hindu cities. The Kashi Vishwanath temple is widely recognised as one of the most important places of worship in the Hindu religion. Inside the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the Jyotirlinga of Shiva, Vishveshvara or Vishvanath. The Vishveshvara Jyotirlinga has a very special and unique significance in the spiritual history of India.

Explored the divine ambiance of Kukke Shri Subramanya Swami temple, nestled close to the scenic hill station. The temple's efficient queue management ensured minimal waiting even during peak times. The staff's cooperation and the provision of lunch and dinner services added to the overall spiritual experience, making it a memorable visit.

I visited the Dakshineswar Kali Temple on the auspicious day of Kali Puja and witnessed the puja. It was almost 4am at morning when the puja get completed. It was started between 10.30pm to 11pm at night. It was a wonderful experience that will last long with me. Mobile was not allowed inside the temple, so unable to capture the moments inside the temple.

The temple complex is not only famous for its religious significance but also for its architectural beauty and serene ambiance. It's situated on the banks of the Hooghly River and comprises the main temple dedicated to Goddess Kali along with 12 shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva.

One of the best well maintained temple I have ever visited. The way they respected all the people who visited the temple is amazing. Not even in single place they scolded or treated people unequally and the maintenance of the surroundings and bathroom is mind blowing . The Annadhanam they provided was the best. One should visit this temple at-least once in a lifetime. and please avoid giving biscuits and buns to wild animals. They are not meant to eat those junk items

Om namah Shibay🙏. Kasi Biswanath is the main jyortirlinga among the 12 jyortirlingas. It is located on the bank of river Ganga.

Today i celebrated Diwali with 'Sai Baba' temple in Shirdi Maharashtra.

and surprise that Shirdi Maharashtra may now present in Andhra Pradesh that much Andhra "Udupi" Hotels and Andhra Jana present in temple premises.
Where are Marathi people.
Panjabi Udupi hotel also present.
Free Prasadalay is too far from temple having not good facilities compare to South Indian Temples.

Dakshineswar Kali Temple is a spiritual gem, captivating visitors with its architectural beauty and religious significance. The temple's serene surroundings along the Hooghly River enhance the overall experience. For the best experience, consider visiting during weekdays to avoid crowds.

Visited Kashi Vishwanath Mandir in Varanasi and was awe-struck by its spiritual aura. The ancient architecture and sacred vibes make it a must-visit. The intricate details and the energy of the place are truly captivating. However, be prepared for the crowds, especially during peak hours. Overall, a profound experience at one of the holiest shrines in India.

Beautiful place. Like the other temples of Odisha this temple also has story. The architecture of this temple is very detailed. The iron pillar, the wheels and the whole structure of this temple is so mesmerizing. I enjoyed here to Much. Here are some pictures.

Place of Religious Importance
I had visited this temple earlier about 8 years back. The only difference I found was the thoughtless infrastructural development.
The rickshaw or your private vehicle can drop you till a point and after that you just have to walk endlessly to reach any temple or ghat in kashi. The richshawwallas will tell you that they will drop you till the entrance but that’s not true or even possible. Please be careful while fixing the price. However, there are wheelchair puller available here and they can drop people to their destination for a charge.
The waiting time here is always long, so a ticket is preferable. These tickets are available at booths managed by authorities. I suggest not buying it from anywhere else but these booths ONLY.
Once you have the ticket, you enter the premises through one of the worst security checks.
The entrance security disallowed my selfie stick (which I had decided to keep in the locker but that was inside temple premises) and a pack of wet tissue and wanted to confiscate it, but I approached the ticket booth and requested them to help in the regard and it was taken care of and duly returned.
After we entered the main gates, we put our footwear on the shoe racks and approached the locker facility and submitted mobile phones and large hand bag that we had with us. Small purses and money pouches are allowed inside. The lockers being limited as compared to the devotees visiting, one might have to wait for it to be available.
One has to go through a couple of security checks before you can enter the temple premises. There is no specific prohibited item in this unique security checks. Whatever the security likes (specially the female security), is termed as prohibited and forcefully, abusively and permanently confiscated. I and my companions were shocked to lose lip balms, pocket VapoRub’s, expensive stationery items (pens and dairy), sanitizers, cosmetic items, etc, never to get it back.
I suggest you keep everything in the lockers.
Once you enter the premises after losing your valuables to the security, you have to be vigilant and find your queue if you have the paid ticket. After checking your ticket, you will be asked to join the line which goes from anywhere. You have to be careful!
After about an hour, you get the darshan from outside the garbhgruh. Not allowed till the Shivling, one can just view it for a fraction of a second from outside before the security pulls you out.
Gyanvapi well is located right in front of one of the doors of the garbhgruh. The well has been filled up and closed and covered with nirmalya.
Right next to it is the huge Nandi facing the supposed Shivling in the ablution area of the disputed gyanvapi masjid.
Darshan of this Shivlinga is NOT Available and it is not even visible from anywhere as the disputed area has been covered.
Once out from the temple premise at gate number 10 there is an approach way to the manikarnika Ghat. one can get a decent view from there of the ganges but its a oneway. once you go to the ghat from here you cant come back and have to forcibly go through all security checks over again and get in the general queue. So be careful where ever you enter. Its completely mismanaged.

Continuing our walk Ghat after Ghat all with their special meaning for pilgrims.

The best Tirumala Darshan is the one that gives you the most time and opportunity to be in the presence of Lord Venkateswara. There are a few different ways to get this kind of Darshan, but they all require some planning and preparation.
One of the most sacred shrine for Hindus. The peace & pleasure that you'll get doing Lord Venkateshwara Darshans here is unparalleled. This place can get very crowded hence I'm sharing few useful tips for people who'd like to visit here.
Tips:
1. Book Darshan tickets in advance on their official website.
2. There are many different kinds of Darshans available, book as per your belief and affordability. Do remember that the amount you are paying is basically a donation which is being put to good use by TTD.
3. Weekdays are definitely less crowded than the weekends.
4. You can walk up to the temple from Allipiri or take a transport.

We have been visiting this place nearly once in 3 months and each time come back with renewed enthusiasm. TTD has been doing an excellent job of continually building / improving and maintaining this place.

Just one sentence - It's heaven on earth. Do visit Adhi Subhramanya temple definitely and take the trek to the temple from Kumara Parvatha for breath taking views

Sai Baba’s early years are a mystery. Most accounts mention his birth as a Hindu Brahman and his subsequent adoption by a Sufi fakir, or mendicant. Later in life he claimed to have had a Hindu guru. Sai Baba arrived in Shirdi, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, about 1858 and remained there until his death in 1918.

At first denounced by the villagers of Shirdi as a madman, by the turn of the century Sai Baba had a considerable following of Hindus and Muslims, attracted by his compelling teachings and his performance of apparent miracles, which often involved the granting of wishes and the healing of the sick. He wore a Muslim cap and for the better part of his life lived in an abandoned mosque in Shirdi, where he daily kept a fire burning, a practice reminiscent of some Sufi orders. Yet he named that mosque Dvarakamai, a decidedly Hindu name, and is said to have had substantial knowledge of the Puranas, the bhagvatgita, and various branches of Hindu thought. Sai Baba’s teachings often took the form of paradoxical parables and displayed both his disdain for the rigid formalism that Hinduism and Islam could fall prey to and his empathy for the poor and diseased.

Shirdi is a major pilgrimage site, and other spiritual figures like Upasani Baba and Meher baba credited the teachings of Sai Baba. In the late 20th and early 21st century Sathya Sai Baba claimed to be his incarnation.

Beautiful place. Like the other temples of Odisha this temple also has story. The architecture of this temple is very detailed. The iron pillar, the wheels and the whole structure of this temple is so mesmerizing. I enjoyed here to Much. Here are some pictures.

A must visit place to see the lord Subrahmanya (Serpent God). Hindus temple located in Western Ghats of Karnataka, India..

It also has some interesting places nearby, I uploaded videos and images of those places...

One of the most famous temples of lord subrahmanya . Temple timings are 7:30AM to 1:30PM and 3:30PM to 8:30PM.There are lots of rooms available for fresh up.The food in this temple is too good.must try

Dakshineswar Kali Temple is a very beautiful place. First I came with my mother when I was 7 to 10 years old. That time there was no sky walker and building and parking lot. Time to time this place is more developed and organized.

The Konark Sun Temple is very beautiful and a must visit place. It shows the intelligence of the ancient Indian architectures.
There is are sun dial also which shows the real time according to the shadow which is amazing and the most important part of the temple.
The history behind this structure will definitely surprise you.
But the sun shines very bright there, so keep your sunglasses with you and also do not forget your hat or cap whatever you want to carry.
In short, I would like to say that it is a very beautiful historical architectural structure where you can and you should visit with your family and friends.
This place is wheelchair accessible also.

The sun temple. The greatest art of Odisha. The temple is full of architecture and beautiful stone arts.
A very ambitious place. You can enjoy the beauty of stone arts and attractive green nature around it. Evening you can enjoy the light and sound show...
It's a awesome place.

The new temple premise is huge, spacious and beautiful. Now the golden tower of the temple is starkly visible. Earlier we used to visit just for darshan while this time we could see the beauty and divinity too. The systems are well placed with all facilities especially wheelchairs for old people. It's neat and dry except when it's raining. The only worst experience we had was in toilets. There was no water hence we were prevented to use them. The taps were broken. No proper maintenance and process for cleaning. Too many security personnel but very little guidance.

My visit to Kashi Vishwanath Temple was truly incredible. I felt the divine presence of Lord Shiva in a way that words can't capture. It was an unexpected and deeply moving experience that left me speechless. If you're seeking a profound spiritual connection, I strongly urge you to visit this sacred place. It's an experience that words can't do justice—you have to experience it for yourself.
Note : there is no camera allowed or any electronic device not allowed in Temple even your pen 🖊️

Only Ganesha temple in vicinity. There is a Shiva temple in the same complex as well.

It is a remarkably peaceful place that everyone should visit at least once. Please take note that mobile phones, large bags, and footwear are not allowed inside the temple. There is a drop-off counter available at the entrance before entering the temple.

The Prayag Ghat is another significant ghat in Varanasi. Located on the immediate left of the Dashashwamedh Ghat, it was built by Balaji Bajirao in 1778 and is a replica of the Prayag holy city in Allahabad. Fortune tellers, seated under rattan umbrellas, read fortunes for the visiting pilgrims.

This space has complete peace of mind and a lot of positive aura. If you want to see mother nature's beauty then you must visit Kukke Shri Subramanyam Swami Temple.

Har Har Mahadev! 🙏
This is a very auspicious temple. The Shivlinga in the garbagriha feels as if Bholenath himself is sitting there. I feel very lucky and blessed to get the lord's darshan. This temple corridor is very well made and looks very beautiful especially at night time.

The Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi is a spiritual masterpiece, exuding divine energy with its stunning architecture and intricate details. The darshan of Lord Shiva's Jyotirlinga is a humbling experience, filling the heart with reverence. The temple's location by the holy Ganges adds to its unique spiritual charm. Be prepared for crowds and long queues, especially during peak pilgrimage times, but the profound connection with the divine makes it a must-visit for seekers of spirituality. An iconic gem in India's spiritual heritage

Temple worth going to for spiritual feel. Well maintained, clean and peaceful temple. Walkable distance from the Metro station. All your bags, mobile phones are to be kept in the lockers available at the premises. Heavy rush can be expected during auspicious days and time. Car parking is available. A must visit place in Kolkata.

One of the most crowded Ghat in Varanasi. Ganga Aarti takes place here at Rajendra Prasad Ghat and Prayag Ghat. Boat rides are available from here for Assi ghat ride and Ganga Aarti. It very dirty and unkept place. Boat ride Mismanagement is wide spread.

Prayag Ghat, located in Varanasi, holds historical and religious significance for visitors. It beautifully replicates the essence of Prayaga, also known as Allahabad, which is renowned as the "Tirtharaja" due to its position at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and invisible Sarasvati rivers. The rituals and sacred baths performed at Prayag Ghat are believed to bestow the same spiritual benefits as those at Prayaga itself.

Although the name "Prayag Ghat" is prominently displayed on the temple situated between the two branches of Dasasvamedha, it is not commonly used by the locals. In fact, the temple itself is defunct and serves only as a storage place for boatmen's equipment. However, despite the temple's condition, the ghat remains a significant spot for devotees and visitors alike.

The reconstruction of the temple and the ghat was undertaken by the queen of the Digpatia kingdom. During the entire month of Magha, devotees flock to Prayag Ghat to take ritual baths. Being situated just south of and adjacent to Dasaswamedh Ghat, which is considered the most important section of ghats in Varanasi, Prayag Ghat witnesses a constant overflow of people, especially during the daily early morning and evening pujas.

The bustling atmosphere of Prayag Ghat adds to its charm and vibrancy. Pilgrims and tourists can immerse themselves in the sacred aura while witnessing the rituals and ceremonies performed by priests and devotees. The ghat provides a unique opportunity to experience the religious fervor and cultural heritage of Varanasi. It is a place where one can feel a deep connection with spirituality and appreciate the cultural tapestry of India.

Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib, 7 km west of Amritsar (31° 38'N, 74° 52'E), is named after a well that Guru Arjan (1563-1606) had sunk. The well was so wide, and the water supply so abundant, that six Persian wheels installed around the interior of its circufrence could operate simultaneously. Hence its name Chheharta, lit. having six (chhe) Persian wheels (hart or harta).

The well has now been covered, but its water is still pumped to feed the main tank of the Gurdwara. Now developed as an industrial township, Chheharta falls within the revenue limits of Vadali Guru, a village one km to the south, where Guru Arjan stayed during 1594-97

Now developed as an industrial township, Chheharta falls within the revenue limits ofVadali Guru, a village one km to the south, where Guru Arjan had stayed during 1594-97.The Gurdwara complex, set on a 6acre walled compound, includes a divan hall, with a square sanctum in the middle enclosed by a brass palisade. Above the sanctum is a square room with a lotus dome topped by a goldplated pinnacle. Two Nishan Sahibs, Sikh flags, atop 25metre tall flagposts, one on either side, stand in front of the hall.

The Gurdwara is managed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee through a local committee, which also controls other historical shrines ofVadali Guru. Congregations held on the fifth day of the light half of every lunar month attract large gatherings. The largestattended is the fair held on this day in the month of Magh (JanuaryFebruary) which marks the popular Basant Parichami festival.

It is just next to the famous dashashwamedh ghat of varanasi. The ganga aarti view from here is spectacular.

This ghat together with shrine of Prayagagesvara replicates the existence of Prayaga/Allahabad in Varanasi.

Chheharta Sahib is a town located 7 km [1] west of Amritsar city of Punjab in India, on the Grand Trunk Road leading to the Pakistan border. The town derives its name from the Gurudwara Chheharta Sahib, established by the fifth Sikh Guru Guru Arjan Dev ji

History

Well maintained and cleaned gurudwara. Food is very delicious (roti, chaval and daal). Such a holy place❤️

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
A must visit place in varanasi. Can be accessed through kashi vishwanath mandir now after the renovation. Must see the evening aarti around 7pm. The view of ganga river is peaceful and ecstatic. Do spend some time by sitting near the ghats. One can also go for boat riding (negotiate with the boatman).

🤔

A beautiful view of Ganga river.

"Prayag Ghat" which is just south of and next to "Dasaswamedh Ghat", considered the most important section of the ghats in Varanasi. This means that Prayag Ghat is usually crowded with the overflow of people especially during daily early morning and evening pujas.

The ghat was built by Balaji Bajirao in 1778 and replicates the Prayag holy city in Allahabad. There is a yellow-brown colored Hindu shrine at the ghat. Holy men who sit in front of the shrine under rattan umbrellas provide fortune-telling services to the pilgrims.

Many devotees will bathe in the Ganga from here. This is the best place to see the Ganga night Arti.

This ghat is very much old ghat in varanasi, uttarpradesh, it is connected with all the ghats, in varanasi uttarpradesh, lots of temples are on this ghat.. In the evening people come for ganga maa aarti, Lots of people come from abroad here for ganga maa aarti.. I had visit here with my family for ganga aarti.. Lots of boat service are here for public.

This place related to sikhesim.
History of this place - Guru Arjan Dev Ji,the fifth Sikh guru,had q large well constructed in this area.The well was so large that it required 6 persian wheels to operate.chheharta got its name from the six wheels,where six chhe (punjabi: ਛੇ) and the persain wheel is called hart (punjabi : ਹਰਟ).
The well was now been covered,but its water is still pumped to feed the main tank of the Gurudwara.now developed as industrial township,chheharta falls within the revenue limits of Vadali Guru, a village one km to the south, where guru arjan stayed during 1594-97.

Peaceful environment. Another best place to observe the spiritual powers. History of this pilgrims very heart touching. And also don't worry about food when you are in GURUDWARA "ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ"

Very neat temple & recently renovated

This is a must see Gurdwara Sahib in Amritsar. One of my favourite place. Very quiet. It is really nice to visit.

Had a great and peaceful time there. Panchmi, Sankranti are best days to visit and offer prayers

It's Lord Ganesha Temple and good place for peace lover... And easy transportation available to visit this Temple.

A hundred year old Shiva temple which was recently renovated. Its also near to famous Mahadeshwara temple of Chamarajpet. The temple is small but well organized and maintained. It is been said that one of the ancestor who is in-charge of the temple brought the idol Shiva from Kashi so the name was coined as Kashi Vishveshwara Swamy Devastana. Transportation facility available at a few distance nearby.

This place is so popular and people said that your any pray complete in this temple,
