Vishalakshi Temple, Hindu temple in Varanasi district, India.
The Vishalakshi Temple stands on the banks of the Ganges River, featuring traditional North Indian architecture with detailed stone carvings and sculptures throughout its structure.
The temple dates back several centuries and belongs to the sacred network of 51 Shakti Peethas, marking locations where parts of Goddess Sati's body are believed to have fallen.
Devotees perform rituals including lamp lighting, flower offerings, and mantra chanting to honor Goddess Vishalakshi, considered a manifestation of divine feminine energy.
