New Vishwanath Temple, Hindu temple in Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India

The New Vishwanath Temple stands within the university campus, featuring a 70-meter tall spire and walls adorned with intricate stone carvings.

Construction of the temple started in 1931 under the guidance of Madan Mohan Malaviya and reached completion in 1966 as part of the university development.

The temple complex serves both as a religious center and an educational institution, where students participate in ceremonies while pursuing academic studies.

Visitors need to follow a specific dress code and remove shoes before entering the main shrine area, which remains open from sunrise to sunset.

Inside the central chamber, a black stone statue of Lord Shiva resides beneath the central spire, surrounded by smaller shrines of various deities.
