Kashi Vishvanath Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishvanath, one of the incarnations of Lord Shiva, and he is regarded as the patron deity of Varanasi. Lord Vishvanath is considered the supreme origin of spiritual truth and strengthens the bonds of universal brotherhood. It is believed that a single darshan of Vishweshwara Jyotirling is considered more auspicious than the darshan of other jyotirlingas in India.

Bharat Mata Temple
The temple is in the shape of a pentagon, with five pillars supporting the structure. This temple has a huge map of undivided India carved in marble. The map depicts the mountains, plains, and oceans up to scale. This temple is placed in a setting of natural beauty overlooking the Ganges and its holy ghats in Banaras.

Tulsi Manas Temple
The Tulsi Manas Mandir is one of the most famous temples in the holy city of Varanasi. This temple has had great historical and cultural importance in Hinduism since ancient times. Reportedly, prior to Ramcharitmanas, Lord Ram was depicted as a great king, and it was Ramcharitmanas who bestowed him as a deity.
