The grand architectural complex houses a hospice for aged devotees, a museum, stores selling books and various other sacred items, a stage for public programmes and a food court.

 

Worship at the Durga Temple

Built in the 18th century by a Bengal queen, this Durga temple stands out with its dark red colour and multi-tiered shikhara. The complex includes Durga Kund, a pond that used to be filled with the water of the Ganges River. The presence of monkeys in the temple has earned it the nickname "Monkey Temple". 

 

Get a Taste of the Past at Ramnagar Fort

Once home to Varanasi’s royal family, this fort is located on the eastern bank of the Ganges. While the Royal Family still occupies a portion of the fort, most of the structure has been converted into a museum, showcasing ancient scripts and scriptures, metal artefacts, vintage furniture and costumes. The fort also has an armoury with swords and guns from various countries, including Myanmar and Japan. 

 

Obtain Spiritual Upliftment at the Sankat Mochan Temple 

This temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and devotees believe that praying here can solve all their problems. A marigold flower garland and besan ke ladoo are offered to Lord Hanuman, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The establishment of this temple is associated with Tulsidas, who is said to have built it at the exact spot where he saw Lord Hanuman. 

 

Explore Dashaswamedh Ghat

Dashaswamedh Ghat is one of the busiest and oldest ghats in the city, attracting both locals and tourists. Each evening, priests perform the aarti, looking magnificent as they move their bodies and hands in synchrony while holding lighted brass lamps, creating an engaging experience for visitors.

 

Bathe in the Holy Ganges 

The Holy Ganges River has been offering spiritual charm to the city for several decades. It is one of the most sacred rivers in the country and people believe that a dip in this holy river can wash away all their sins, attracting tourists from across the country.
