SHRI DURGA TEMPLE @ VARANASI

Spiritual activities around Varanasi aren’t solely confined to the ghats. Just a five-minute walk west of Assi Ghat, the Shri Durga Temple is a popular attraction for Hindus who wish to pay tribute to the goddess Durga. You can’t miss the 300-year-old temple — it’s painted bright red from top to bottom.

The temple’s nickname, “Monkey Temple,” gives you a clue about the creatures you might find swinging about in this area. You may also see a couple of graceful swans floating on the pool of water outside the temple.

Address: 27, Durgakund Road, Durgakund, Anandbagh, Bhelupur, Varanasi
