The Kasi Viswanath Temple is the first among all the Jyotirlingas of the country. Situated in the holy town of Varanasi, it is said to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati on earth. A visit to this very ancient temple – that’s mentioned in the Skanda Purana – fetches blessings of the divine couple and salvation. The unique feature of the temple is that devotees can perform ceremonies to the lord directly without the help of a priest. Lord Viswanath is all-merciful and kind and therefore the temple is also known as Abode of Bliss. It is also known as the golden temple for its domes covered in pure gold. The Ganges flows in the region which has 64 bathing ghats and those taking a dip in it are purified of all sins.

Once Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu had an argument as to who is superior of the two. Lord Shiva intervened and pierced the three worlds with a striking force in the form of a huge column of light that had no beginning or end – the jyotirlinga. He manifested as jyotirlinga in 12 different locations and Kasi Vishwanath was the first of them all.
