Overview

Maa Dhumavati Temple in Varanasi is a rare shrine of Goddess Dhumavati, one of the ten Mahavidyas. Tradition sees her as the goddess of change, knowledge and spiritual strength. Unlike many goddesses, she is worshipped here in a stern, ascetic form. This form stands for detachment, strength and victory over illusion. Devotees believe that prayer here helps with obstacles and negativity and brings inner peace. Seekers, saints and spiritual aspirants visit to ask for strength, guidance and blessings. The temple is considered especially significant for tantric and spiritual practice.
