Sankata Devi Mandir, Hindu temple in Varanasi district, India
The Sankata Devi Mandir features a four-armed silver-plated deity statue standing 5 feet tall, accompanied by statues of Lord Hanuman and Lord Bhairav.
The temple construction occurred in the 18th century under the King of Baroda's patronage, with the adjacent Sankata Ghat becoming permanent in 1825.
Every Friday, women gather at the temple to perform special pujas to Sankata Devi, who represents protection from life's difficulties.
The temple opens daily from 4:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with morning aarti at 4:30 AM, located 6 kilometers from Varanasi railway station.
Nine planetary statues and a large lion statue guard the temple grounds, while a Banyan tree shelters the idols of Lord Ganesh and Lord Hanuman.
