Annapurna Devi Mandir, Hindu temple in Varanasi, India
The temple features a central shrine with a 17-centimeter-tall statue of goddess Annapurna holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in another.
The temple regained its original statue in 2021 after it was returned from Canada, where it had remained for over 100 years following its theft.
Devotees gather at the temple to worship Annapurna, the deity of nourishment and food, who according to legends once fed Lord Shiva himself.
The temple provides free meals to visitors and accepts voluntary donations through a formal receipt system near the main entrance.
During the Annakut festival, the temple displays a special golden statue of goddess Annapurna for public viewing during a single day.
