Vishalakshi Temple, Hindu temple in Varanasi district, India.
The Vishalakshi Temple sits near the riverbank of the Ganges in Varanasi and belongs to the sacred sites devoted to Goddess Shakti. The structure displays carved representations of divine figures on pillars and doorframes while a covered interior surrounds the central shrine.
The temple was built several centuries ago and belongs to a network of fifty-one sacred locations connected through mythological narrative. These sites mark places where divine relics are believed to have fallen to earth according to tradition.
Devotees arrive to light oil lamps and offer flower garlands while reciting sacred verses. The worship centers on a female deity whose name derives from the Sanskrit word meaning wide-eyed.
Visitors can enter the temple daily from sunrise to sunset with more people present during morning and evening hours. Priests conduct ceremonies then with chants and incense lighting taking place.
The temple compound is regarded as a center for certain ritual practices rooted in ancient tantric teachings. Believers say that beneath the floor rest special objects connected to the worshipped deity.
