Darshan, seva and donations here are carried out on the temple’s own official website. We point you straight to it — no account needed — and the offering goes directly to the shrine.
Kashi Vishwanath enshrines Shiva as Vishwanath, the Lord of the Universe, on the western bank of the Ganga in Varanasi. As one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines, it is among the most sacred destinations in the Shaiva tradition. Pilgrims come to bathe in the river and offer worship in the same breath, seeking liberation in the city said to grant it.
An ancient shrine destroyed and rebuilt many times; the present temple was raised in 1780 by Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore.
The shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and devotees come from across the country for darshan in the inner sanctum. What follows is the heart of what each pilgrim seeks here.
