This is one of the most temples in India and ofcourse the main attraction centre of this city. Visiting this temple is one of the must to do activities. Tickets are usually available for quick visit. We were happy to visit this temple, so much positive energy and vibrations. Our guide also explained the history of this place which was so sad.

Surely PM Modi has done a lot of work here, easily accessible , clean, open, plenty of space, lots of amenities , I even saw a VIP lounge here, and washroom facilities apart from locker. Had divine darshan of Mahadev. You may come here from river Ganges side also on boats. I wish other temple premises could be extended like this.

Overall nice experience. Wish to visit Bholenath the third time from Nepal. Waiting for his call. last time I was here in 2019, drastic changes could be seen in and around the temple. Everything looks different in a good way.

Foreigners visiting Viswanath Temple, are required to be Hindus. We had renounced our birth religion and converted to Hinduism at Arya Samaj in Calicut, Kerala many years ago and carried testimonial cards issued by the organization. At Kashi Viswanath Temple, we were fortunate to be picked up by a Brahmin guide near gate 4, (Foreigners Entrance) who shepherded us through the entire process. First, We were required to go to the Vishwanath Temple headquarters (an orange building) near gate 4. Fortunately we were able to use digital photos of our Indian Visas on our phone, (Best if you have your actual passport) which were required to secure temple tickets 700 rupees each. Bought milk for abhishekam and a flower mala (100Rs) and left our mobile devices in a locker, and shoes in same shop. ( one can not bring camera, phone, leather wallet or belt into temple, these are required to be left in locker). The Brahmin sent us with his teenage son into a very very fast VIP line for a wonderful darshan with minimal stress. We only had 1000 Rs left after our darshan and we gave it all to our guide…I am sure he usually got much more…but gracefully accepted our dakshina. Aum Namah Shivaya!

We were visiting Varanasi on 16th and 19th Feb. On 16th we had very good dharshan on Rs.300 Tkt around noon. There was not much croud and we had very peaceful and divine Dharshan. But on 19th evening we also had Dharshan during abhishegam which was performed by six or seven priests and hence we could have only partial dharshan that too for few seconds. The Viswanth dham now is spaciaus and after Ganga arthi at Dasashvametha ghat we went to temple directly which is just 200 metres.

Place for people who look for spiritual growth. Kashivishwa Nath temple and Sankat Mochan mandir is must visit place. You mind will blown away with so many number of temples here. I have truly fallen in love with aarti and ghat Darshan here. Few km away visit to sarnath temple as well. Every place has its own charm and beauty in Kashi.

We visited the temple late evening around 730 / 8 pm and it was not very crowded, this was the normal line. Total time we would have taken around 40 mins to finish the darshan. While doing darshan keep close eye on deity which is almost hidden behind wall created around it to protect it. The most important point is keep your mobile and other belonging in free locker provided by the mandir itself near Gate no 4. I discourage you to keep it with other shops as they would charge atrocious amount for it (they would say free locker) but then ask for money. There is also paid darshan for 300Rs. in which there is almost not much crowd. Avoid mondays as it is Shiv God's day so in general the crowd is more on that day. For other who would want to visit the temple and touch God, darshan is open from 3 am to 4 am in the morning.

Similar to other Hindi Temples we visited on Day 2, we had to take off our shoes and leave our cell phones at the Reception Area. The lines were long, but my local guide knows his way around here and were able to see the gods/goddess quicker. Highly recommended to visit, use a local guide to help you enjoy your visit.

Blessed to get the chance to visit the world famous Kashi Temple which is also called as Golden Temple. During weekends and special days the crowd is immense and a record 5 lakh people had visited on one particular Sunday. Plan your visit well in advance and book online VIP tickets which will save you some few hours of waiting and the pandit accompanying you will also explain all details of the temple. Mobiles are not allowed inside so plan your visit accordingly to reach your driver/ family members

Spritual touring needs to follow some norms. World over it's the foremost travel but in India, even though there are hundreds of Temples associated with the Acts of God's but there are also equally huge numbers of visitors. One gets a feeling of being pushed over through it in seconds, not even minutes. I visited both Kashi Vishwanath temple, though earlier visited many times but this one was the costliest as well as the quickest, and also the Ram Lalla's at Ayodhya, another pushover tour. One spends days to visit such places but can't even spend a few minutes before the Lord inorder to open up his mind n soul. What's the purpose then of going. Henceforth I will have to evaluate these questions. Thanks
