Explore Temples of Varanasi

Temples are the spiritual heartbeat of Varanasi. With over 3,000 temples spread across the city, Varanasi is rightfully called one of the few true “cities of temples” in the world. Here, every street corner seems to house a shrine, every gully echoes with chants, and every stone has a story.

These temples aren’t just places of worship – they are carriers of centuries-old traditions, rituals, and myths. From the mighty Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, to lesser-known gems tucked away in quiet alleys, each temple holds a unique charm and spiritual energy.

Many of these structures were built, rebuilt, or renovated by saints, kings, and devotees over the centuries, surviving invasions, natural calamities, and the ever-evolving cityscape. Even today, locals and pilgrims come together to clean, decorate, and preserve these sacred spaces as part of their daily devotion.
