About New Vishwanath Temple

Every holy man's go-to destination to be overcome by the presence and influence of the great Lord Shiva is the New Vishwanath Temple. Its divinity is multiplied not only by its location in the heart of India's cultural capital, Varanasi but also by the sacred river Ganga that runs alongside it. The grand New Vishwanath Temple, which is located on the campus of Banaras Hindu University, is one of Varanasi's most popular tourist attractions. Visiting this temple allows the worshipper to place himself in God's presence, at his disposal, and listen to his heart's breath.

While predominantly a Lord Shiva temple, this magnificent temple contains nine other temples within one and welcomes people of all faiths to marvel at its magnificence, which employs symbols to articulate Hinduism's concepts and beliefs. The New Vishwanath Temple encompasses all aspects of Hinduism, including good, bad, and humanity, meaning the importance of Dharma, Kama, Artha, Moksa, and Karma in our lives.
