Kashi Vishwanath Temple

Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi receives 22,000 pilgrims daily, processing devotees faster than the average Hindu shrine, which handles around 8,000. Its three-domed structure, rebuilt in 1780, houses a 60-centimeter-high Shiva lingam encased in silver. Compared to #4 Jagannath Temple’s Rath Yatra, this site conducts 5 daily pujas with 200 priests, a ritual frequency 40% higher. The temple sits on the Ganges' western bank via a 12-meter-wide walkway. Its annual donation revenue of ₹300 crore is 40% more than the runner-up in Varanasi.
