Overview
Kashi houses famous jyotirlinga Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple along with other ancient and famous temples. Sankat Mochan, Tulsi Manas Mandir and Durga Mandir hold equal importance. Baba Kaal Bhairav is seen as Kashi Ke Kotwal. It is believed that no one can stay in this city without his consent. Baba Kaal Bhairav Mandir is an inevitable stop. It is impossible to visit all temples of Kashi in few days. However, temples like Vishalakshi Temple, Lalita Gauri Mandir, Nepali Temple (Replica of Pashupati Nath temple), Annapurna Temple, and Mrityunjay Mahadev Temple should be visited.
Mangla Aarti is the first aarti offered at 3 a.m. in Kashi Vishwanath Mandir. Despite the early morning Aarti, there is a long queue as one gets to see Shivalinga in its original form, bereft of any flower or offerings. As per Hindu beliefs, it brings great blessing if one performs Rudrabhishek in Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple or any other Shiva temple in Kashi, Chanting of Rudra mantra is the most auspicious way to worship Lord Shiva.
In Kashi, devotees perform Maha Mrityunjay Jaap at Mrityunjay Mahadev Mandir to avoid unnatural death and cure life threatening illnesses. Mrityunjay Mahadev Mandir also believed to have a holy well with magical powers. Similarly, Kum Kum Archana in Annapurna Devi Temple and Ganga Poojan on the Ghats are quintessential Banaras experience. You can also perform Satyanarayan Pooja in any Benaras temples for improved health, wealth, prosperity, and cure from illnesses.
The evening Ganga Aarti at Dasashwamedh Ghat, a soulful daily event, evening boat ride and walking along Ganga Ghat and old city market is included in this tour plan apart from temples. Visiting to holiest cremation sites and Buddhist pilgrimage Sarnath will help you solve the mystery of life.
