★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The most holiest place i have ever visited in my life. Everything so beautiful. The temple is the most satisfying place anyone can ever go. I went there through boat. I will upload the boat pictures. You will find it so amazing and beautiful. You only have to keep your phone and the things you have brought in the locker which is of free. You dont have to take out belts or watches or wallets. Inside the temple in the centre is God Shiva. He is so beautiful. There are almost 8 gates for cues. You can stand on any line. Once you visit Baba Bholenath dont forget to say what you want to pray to Lord shiva in Nandi ji's ear. Say it in the left ear and close the right ear. There are many different temples inside Kashi Vishwanath temple. Such as Badrinarayan, Ganga maa, Big Nandi ji's statue. The place is so holy and so beautiful that you wont like to come back. Har har Mahadev Om namah shivaay.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located in Vishwanath Gali of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh in India. The temple stands on the western bank of the holy river Ganga, and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shiva temples. The main deity is known by the names Shri Vishwanath and Vishweshwara (IAST: Vishveshvara or Vishveshvur) literally meaning Lord of the Universe. Varanasi was called Kashi ("shining") in ancient times, and hence the temple is popularly called Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

The temple is considered a central part of worship in the Shaiva philosophy by Hindu scriptures. It had been demolished by many Muslim rulers many times, most recently by Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal emperor who constructed the Gyanvapi Mosque on its site.[1] The current structure was built on an adjacent site by the Maratha ruler, Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore in the year 1780.[2]
Since 1983, the temple has been managed by the government of Uttar Pradesh.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What could be written about a Jyotirlinga..
I am not capable to write.
Yes one thing that after modification there are ample place and cleanliness inside the temple and you should stay inside the temple with your family.
Moreover no phone , bags,watches etc are allowed. Just leave your hotel bare footed and with wallet and some flowers milk for worship nothing else or otherwise in the name of keeping your sleeper ,purse wallet you will be charged 100 or more without any cause.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place needs no feedback or review. This place is the heart of the city Varanasi. But just a advice what i got to know from the local people is, before visiting any other place in the city of Varanasi, one must and mandatorily pay a visit to Lord Kaal Bhairav temple. He is known to be the dwarpal of the entire city and he is the one whom one should pay a visit without going anywhere else. Else, this place is well maintained by the government and also government lockers are provided for the safety of the belongings. Prior booking must be done for getting an entry.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I live in varanasi. And with experience I can say that, when I went, after the corridor formation, it was a fabulous experience. I was stunned to see the priceless view of the temple.
I would appreciate the work, because there is a multi level bike parking only 20 rs per 3 hours. And you can park cars in private car parking zones, these are also very cheap.
The facilities available inside the temple are great, but as in every other temple, this also gets crowded a lot.
