Hindu temples in Varanasi, Hindu temples in Varanasi, India

The ancient temples stand along the banks of the Ganges River, featuring ornate stone carvings and traditional North Indian architectural elements.

The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dating back to the 18th century, remains one of the most significant Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva.

During evening ceremonies, priests perform rituals with oil lamps, incense, and bells while devotees gather at temple steps near the Ganges.

Visitors must remove shoes before entering temples, maintain silence in prayer halls, and refrain from taking photographs inside sacred areas.

The tilted Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple near Manikarnika Ghat leans at a 9-degree angle due to soil movement near the riverbank.
