Varanasi is a city of temples. There is a temple near to almost every road crossing. These small temples form the basis of daily local prayers and other rituals. There are also many large temples, erected at different times throughout the history of Varanasi.

Aghori

Baba Keenaram Sthal

Baba Keenaram Sthal headquarters and location of the world famous Pilgrim of Aghora sect. Work place of great saint Baba Keenaram. One of the most visited places in Varanasi, by researchers, documentary makers, writers and tourists.

Bharat Mata

Bharat Mata Mandir

The Bharat Mata temple at Varanasi is the only temple dedicated to Bharat Mata. It is located on the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth campus. The Bharat Mata temple was built by Babu Shiv Prasad Gupt and inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1936. The statute of Bharat Mata is built in marble and is a model of undivided India, depicting the mountains, plains and oceans. The most peculiar thing about the Bharat Mata Temple is that, instead of the customary gods and goddesses, it houses a relief map of India, carved out of marble.
