Varanasi has millions of temples but none as auspicious as Vishwanath Temple. Etymologically Vishwanath means lord of the universe, & so is true by evaluating numbers of visitors visiting this temple. The city in ancient past was divided in three parts, Omkareshwar, Vishveshwar & Kedareshwar & in middle Vishveshwar Khand Temple Vishwanath is situated. Ancient records show immense importance to this temple. Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsang visited Varanasi in 6th century & noted a great statue of Shiva nearly 100 feet high seeing it from Sarnath. This was none other than Vishwanath. Vishwanath temple has been demolished five times & site shifted toward south of its original place. At present the original place has a mosque named Razia Mosque. In Indian religion any structure of god is a mere representation of unknown & when its destroyed other image take place & rituals of Pran Pratishtha is done to reinvigorate the structure. So the site shifting is of no value in terms of the importance of a concept of worship. When we talk about Vishwanath Temple its of no such grandeur of past but still the dome of the temple is still gold plated. The sanctum sanctorum has a Shiva's linga mostly submerged in milk & water with Bilwa leaves. Enchanting mantras is a common sight at the temple all day & no such time is possible when one can see the temple empty.
