Overview
Why Visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple
Kashi Vishwanath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and the ritual heart of Shaiva Varanasi, where temple worship is deeply tied to the city’s moksha and Ganga traditions.
🧭 Temple-Specific Notes
- Kashi Vishwanath is among the core Jyotirlinga shrines and remains central to pan-Indian Shiva pilgrimage circuits.
- The present major temple reconstruction is associated with Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar (18th century), while the sacred geography of the site is far older.
- As per official schedule page, Mangla Aarti is listed at 3:00 AM–4:00 AM and Shayan Aarti at 10:30 PM–11:00 PM (subject to management advisories).
- Sugam Darshan is officially shown as a queue-less assisted darshan service with listed charges; use the official portal for latest booking status.
- Rudrabhishek service windows and slabs are published on the daily schedule page, making official verification essential before arrival.
- The temple’s ritual cycle is closely linked with broader Kashi practices including Ganga snan, Vishwanath darshan, and associated shrine circuits.
