Situated on the western bank of holy river Ganga in Varanasi, Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas or temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The main deity of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple is Lord Shiva, also known as Vishwanath or Vishweshwarar meaning "the ruler of the universe". The city of Varanasi, the cultural capital of India, is thus known as the city of Lord Shiva. It stands steadfastly eternal in the Hindu pantheon and is the culmination point of the conclusion of the human journey.
