One of the oldest surviving cities in the world, Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a major pilgrimage site for Hindus. Varanasi, located on the banks of Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, is a holy and historical city, which is also known as the city of Shiva. Banaras is known for its famous ‘Kashi Vishwanath Temple’ and the grand and traditional morning and evening Ganga Aarti. It is believed that bathing in Ganga and visiting Kashi Vishwanath leads to salvation. The city is famous as a center of knowledge, spirituality, music, culture and art, which is also known throughout the world for its ghats, sarees and paan.

Kashi is a city of temples
Banaras is a major center of Sanatan culture, where thousands of temples are located including Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. It is said about Banaras that there is a temple in every street here, due to which it is also called the city of temples. One of those temples in Varanasi is ‘Someshwar Mahadev Temple’, which is a very sacred, historical and ancient Shiva temple located in the heart of Kashi.

1000 year old Someshwar Mahadev Temple
The approximately 1,000 year old Someshwar Mahadev Temple is now on the verge of losing its existence. The temple has reached a completely dilapidated condition and the road leading there has also become dangerous and in ruins. The condition of this temple has become such that the roof can collapse any time. It is believed that Someshwar Mahadev Temple of Kashi was once the shining center of Sanatan Dharma, where the devotees of Mahadev used to come from far and wide to meditate.

The temple is mentioned in Skanda Purana.
The idol of Nandi sits in front of the white marble Shivalinga in the temple. Along with this, there is also a rare form of Hanumanji in the temple, on whose shoulders Ram and Lakshman are seated. Mention of Someshwar Mahadev Temple is also found in Skanda Purana. At the same time, this ancient and historical heritage of Sanatanis now seems to be getting destroyed with time. The festival of Holi has started and after Braj, Holi of Kashi is discussed all over the world. On the occasion of Holi, many programs are organized in Shiva’s city Kashi. The festival of Holi is celebrated with great pomp here.
