Varanasi’s Kashi Vishwanath Temple, also known as the Golden Temple, stands out with its striking pure gold spire and dome. The current structure, built in 1780, continues a long tradition of temples on the same site, some of which date back centuries. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the most significant deities in Hinduism, the temple is a major pilgrimage destination. Visitors can explore the sacred grounds, immerse themselves in the spiritual atmosphere, and witness the devotion of pilgrims who come from far and wide to pay their respects.
