Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi is a spiritual gem that resonates with devotion and ancient traditions. As you approach the temple, the bustling lanes of Varanasi lead you to its sacred entrance. The energy here is palpable, and the sound of temple bells fills the air.

Inside, the sanctum sanctorum houses the revered Lord Shiva, and the atmosphere is charged with religious fervor. The temple's golden spire shines brilliantly, symbolizing divinity. As you offer your prayers and witness the evening aarti, you can feel a deep sense of connection to the divine.

Beyond its religious significance, the temple holds historical and cultural importance. It's a place where spirituality, culture, and tradition converge, offering a profound experience for seekers and tourists alike. A visit to the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a journey to the heart of Varanasi's rich spiritual heritage, leaving you with a lasting sense of awe and reverence.

Shri Kashi Vishwanath is 4.5 km far away from Varanasi station.
You have to take e rikshaw which cost you around ā‚¹20 rupees.Then you will have to travel some distance on foot to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
Smartphones, Cameras are not allowed in the temple premises. You have to put it in locker which they say free of cost..but it is free only if you buy some Chadhawa (min ā‚¹150) and pujan samagri which we will offer to God Vishwanath.

This is the main and oldest gate to go inside Kashi Vishwanath. This lies in Kashi Vishwanath corridor. It has beautiful nakashi in it. And gods symbol. Just like this city the gate is also sacred and beautiful. In nearby area you can have Street food like dosa and all different items. You can go straight and take a bath in holy river Ganges in Dashashvamed ghat and then go to the holy temple.

Kashi Vishwanath temple is one of the 12 jyotirlingas in India. There are many gates to enter the temple. You can offer water or milk through sliders available in the temple. Or you can buy tickets for near darshan.

Kashi Vishvanath TempleĀ is one of the most famousĀ Hindu templesĀ dedicated toĀ Lord Shiva. It is located inĀ Varanasi,Ā Uttar Pradesh,Ā India. The temple stands on the western bank of the holy riverĀ Ganga, and is one of the twelveĀ Jyotirlingas, the holiest ofĀ Shivatemples. The main deity is known by the name Vishvanatha or Vishveshvara meaningĀ Ruler of The Universe. Varanasi city is also calledĀ Kashi, and hence the temple is popularly called Kashi Vishvanath Temple

Madhuri Desai notes accounts of the history of the temple to center around a litany of repeated destruction and re-construction. Pilgrims visiting the present Kashi Vishwanath Temple are informed about the timelessness of the lingam.

Located on the banks of the holy Ganges, Varanasi is regarded among the holiest of the Hindu cities. The Kashi Vishwanath temple is widely recognized 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.

Many leading saints, including Adi Sankaracharya, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda, Bamakhyapa, Goswami Tulsidas, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Sathya Sai Baba, Yogiji Maharaj, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, Mahant Swami Maharaj and Gurunanak have visited the site.[34][unreliable source? A visit to the temple and a bath in the river Ganges is one of many methods believed to lead one on a path to Moksha (liberation). Thus, Hindus from all over the world try to visit the place at least once in their lifetime. There is also a tradition that one should give up at least one desire after a pilgrimage the temple, and the pilgrimage would also include a visit to the temple at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu in Southern India, where people take water samples of the Ganges to perform prayer at the temple and bring back sand from near that temple. Because of the immense popularity and holiness of Kashi Vishwanath temple, hundreds of temples across India have been built in the same architectural style. Many legends record that the true devotee achieves freedom from death and saį¹ƒsāra by the worship of Shiva, Shiva's devotees on death being directly taken to his abode on Mount Kailash by his messengers and not to Yama. The superiority of Shiva and his victory over his own natureā€”Shiva is himself identified with deathā€”is also stated. There is a popular belief that Shiva himself blows the mantra of salvation into the ears of people who die naturally at the Vishwanath temple.
