Located
in the ancient and holy city of Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), Kashi Vishwanath
temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, also referred to as Vishwanath or
Vishweshwara, meaning emperor of the universe. The city of Varanasi is also
known as Kashi that is why the temple is famously called Kashi Vishwanath
temple.
The
distinguished temple has been visited by many great holy men like Swami
Vivekanand, Adi Shankaracharya, Goswami Tulsidas and Gurunanak. The merit or
the blessings received from sighting jyotirling at Kashi Vishwanath is equal to
that earned from visiting the rest of the 11 jyotirlings placed at several
areas in India. A visit to the sacred temple of Shiva is believed to be one of
the ways through which one can attain Moksha (ultimate liberation of the soul).
