About this puja

Varanasi, also called Kashi, Banaras, Anandavana and Avimukta, lies on the banks of the Ganga in North India.

These are Annapurna Mata Temple, Dundi Vinayak Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Kaal Bhairav Temple and Vishalakshi Temple. The Ganga Aarti can be attended at the end. A pujari leads the group, going on foot or by e-rickshaw depending on the distance. At each temple he shares its background and importance. The yatra begins at Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where the pandit meets the devotees. This is a regular darshan, not a V.I.P. darshan. No puja is performed during the yatra.
