Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Wikipedia Commons)

Kashi Vish­wanath Tem­ple is one of the most sacred tem­ples to Hin­dus. It is locat­ed in Varanasi (a city men­tioned in the Hin­du scrip­tures – home of the god Shi­va), India. Hin­dus are expect­ed to trav­el at least once in their life­time to Varanasi and they should also ide­al­ly scat­ter the ash­es of their dead fam­i­ly mem­bers in the Gangh­es riv­er there. Hin­dus believe that the town is the old­est liv­ing town in human his­to­ry. The tem­ple has a fif­teen meter high gold spire, part of which is pic­tured above.
