Viswanath Temple

Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has earned the name of Golden Temple due to the gold plating done using one ton of gold donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh .Invaders destroyed the original temple and Rani Ahilyabai of Indore rebuilt it only in in 1776. Again, Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb destroyed the Viswanath temple to replace it with the Gaynvapi Mosque . Today, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Gyanvapi mosque lie adjacent to each other.

Durga temple, Bharat Mata temple, Tulsi Manas temple and Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple are few to name worth visiting although Kashi is full of temples.
