Located on the western bank of the Ganga, Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most famous and sacred Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Counted among the twelve Jyotirlingas, it has stood as the spiritual center of Varanasi for centuries. The current structure was rebuilt in the late 18th century by Ahilyabai Holkar after repeated destruction. Lakhs of devotees visit every year, especially on Shivratri and Mondays in Shravan. The temple is renowned for its golden spire and the bustling lanes of Varanasi surrounding it.
